Who Was Uncle Sam?

According to Wikipedia, Uncle Sam is the national personification of our country. More than that though, he's become synonmous with all things patriotism. Want to show your love for the country? Don an Uncle Sam hat.

On a more serious note, according to reports and stories that have been handed down through the years, the real Uncle Sam was a man by the name of Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Arlington, Massachusetts.

During the War of 1812, Samuel was a meat packer (and a successful one at that) in Troy, New York. He was so successful that he became the chief meat supplier for the U.S. Army and provided them with meat that was packed in barrels that were labeled with the initials, "U.S."

Samuel Wilson

A running joke began with the soldiers that U.S. actually stood for Uncle Sam and it is said that this was the beginning of "Uncle Sam."

In 1917, J.M. Flagg rendered the famous depiction of Uncle Sam imploring young men to join the army and the legend of Uncle Sam was born.
