Uncle Sam (initials U.S.) is a common national personification of the American government that, according to legend, came into use during the War of 1812 and was supposedly named for Samuel Wilson. The first use of Uncle Sam in literature was in the 1816 allegorical book "The Adventures of Uncle Sam in Search After His Lost Honor" by Frederick Augustus Fidfaddy, Esq. An Uncle Sam is mentioned as early as 1775, in the original "Yankee Doodle" lyrics of the Revolutionary War. It is not clear whether this reference is to Uncle Sam as a metaphor for the United States, or to an actual person named Sam.
[h=2]'DEFINITION of 'Uncle Sam
A nickname dating back to 1812 used to refer to the U.S. government. The term is said to come from "Uncle Sam" Wilson, who provided barrels of beef to the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. The barrels were stamped "U.S." to indicate that they were government property, but they came to be associated with Wilson's nickname, and eventually "Uncle Sam" became a nickname for the U.S. government.
تعریف "عمو سم"
یک نام مستعار که به سال 1812 برمی گردد ، به دولت ایالات متحده دلالت دارد. منشا این اصطلاح از عمو سم ویلسون است که بشکه های گوشت را برای ارتش ایالات متحده در طول جنگ 1812 فراهم میکرد. این بشکه ها با عنوان "US" تمبر زده می شدند تا نشان دهد که آنها جزء اموال دولت هستند ، درحالی که آنها مربوط به نام مستعار ویلسون بودند و در نهایت "عمو سم" تبدیل به نام مستعار دولت ایالات متحده شد.
