Uncle Sam is a cartoon character that was created to represent the US. The first time people heard of Uncle Sam was during the War of 1812. Uncle Sam was first shown to the public in the March 13, 1852, issue of the New York Lantern. However, the famous image we now know as Uncle Sam wasn't created until later by Thomas Nast. His design showed a serious-looking elderly man with a beard similar to Abraham Lincoln and clothes that looked like they were made out of the US flag. These days, Uncle Sam is commonly seen on posters that encourage Americans to join the military.
