"Uncle Sam" is a personification of the United States government, often symbolizing American patriotism and national identity. The term is believed to have originated during the War of 1812, with the name linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer who supplied barrels of food to the army. Over time, Uncle Sam became a recognizable figure, representing the U.S. in political Cartoons and recruitment campaigns, particularly during World War I and II. Thus, "Uncle Sam" refers to the United States itself, rather than a specific location.
