Uncle Sam (English: Uncle Sam) is a nickname and personified image of the United States. He is usually depicted as an old man, dressed in a star-spangled banner and a hat, tall and thin, with a goatee, hooked nose and hale spirits. This cartoon image was drawn by the famous painter james montgomery flagg for the press committee according to his appearance. It is generally believed that "Uncle Sam" came from 1865438, an American named Samirror Wilson (1766-1854). He supplied beef to the American army during the war, and the sign on the barrel said' EA-US'. EA is the name of the company, US was born in the United States, and Uncle Sam's abbreviation happens to be U.S., so in a joke, Uncle Sam's statement spread quickly and later became another name for the United States. Americans regard "Uncle Sam" as an honest, reliable, hardworking and patriotic spirit, which is the pride and quality of their citizens. 196 1 year, the us congress called "uncle Sam" a "national symbol" in its resolution.
