Who was responsible for uncle sam?

Uncle Sam is widely believed to have originated from Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. The initials "U.S." on the barrels were thought to stand for "Uncle Sam," leading to the personification of the U.S. government as Uncle Sam. The character was further popularized through political cartoons and illustrations, particularly by artists like Thomas Nast in the late 19th century. Over time, Uncle Sam became a symbol of American patriotism and government.
