In the early 1800s, a new symbol began to appear in American culture: Uncle Sam. This tall, lanky man with a long beard and striped hat quickly became a popular icon, appearing on everything from recruitment posters to political cartoons. While the exact origins of Uncle Sam are debated, there is no doubt that he came to represent the idealized version of America: strong, patriotic, and committed to justice.
