Description

It is said that the inspiration for the character of Uncle Sam was a man named Sam Wilson, who provided food for the U.S.

Army during the War of 1812. By the 1830s, the figure of Uncle Sam had become a personified image of America, commonly used by newspaper and magazine cartoonists to represent the U.S. government's decisions and policies. Perhaps the best-known image of Uncle Sam was created in 1917, during the First World Wara stern, white-haired man wearing star-spangled clothing, encouraging Americans to do their part to support their nation.

Uncle Sam remains an important symbol of the United States and the policies and activities of our government.
