Samuel Wilson Or “Uncle Sam”

Uncle Sam is a symbol of the United States government and American society that first appeared during the War of 1812 and has remained in use ever since. According to popular culture, he is frequently depicted as a man wearing a top hat, white hair, and a beard, as well as other American-related trappings. According to common belief, the character was inspired by a guy called Samuel Wilson, who worked as a meatpacker during the War of 1812. The letters “US” were said to stand for “Uncle Sam” on his barrels, which also contained the letters U.S. for the United States.
