1. Who is Uncle Sam based on in real life?

The prototype of Uncle Sam is believed to be Samuel Wilson, an American meat trader in the early 19th century. During the War of 1812, he supplied meat to the US military and marked “U.S.” on the meat barrels. The soldiers joked that “U.S.” refers to “Uncle Sam”, and this saying gradually spread and eventually became a symbol of the United States.
