Who is Uncle Sam?Even though your parents have no brothers or sisters, you still have Uncle Sam!
He wears a red, white, and blue outfit and a top hat, and He has white hair and a goochee. For almost 200 years this cartoon charachter was made to think he was real! Thats called Personification. America believes that the personification of the U.S as Uncle Sam during the World War of 1812, Samuel Wilson from Troy, sent in beef in large crates. These Crates often said U.S on the front of them, but Mr. Wilson's workers joked it meant " Uncle Sam" Wilson. These crates came more and more, they became presents to the Army. Soon, Uncle Sam became associated to the U.S government. Comments are closed.
