Yankee Doodle isn't a person. Yankee is what the American colonies were called. Doodle was another word for fool. If you think an American wrote Yankee Doodle, you're wrong. A British person who disliked Americans wrote it. The British sang it to insult the Americans, but the Americans thought it was so funny they made it they're song

The Yankee Doodle Song was around before the American Revolution. The tune is probably from 15th century Holland. The macaroni was a wig that was popular in 1770. The song started out as the British making fun of the colonists as simpletons. However the colonists turned it around and made fun of the British. It is the state song of Connecticut.
