Write the word described in each sentence
Read each paragraph and then choose the letter of the main idea.
The War of 1812 saw the birth of an American icon1: “Uncle Sam.” He appears to have arisen in 1813 in Troy, New York, but little more than that is known. The inspiration for Uncle Sam is sometimes traced to one Samuel Wilson, an army inspector in Troy, but it seems more probable2 that the name was merely derived from the initials U. S. The top-hatted, striped-trousered figure we associate with the name was popularized in the 1860s in the cartoons of Thomas Nast and later reinforced by the famous I WANT YOU recruiting posters of the artist James Montgomery Flagg. Main Idea: a. “Uncle Sam” possibly originated in 1813 and was later popularized by Thomas Nast and James Montgomery Flagg. b. Americans first saw “Uncle Sam” in the top-hatted, striped-trousered cartoon figure created by Thomas Nast in the 1860s. c. Samuel Wilson, an army inspector in Troy, was definitely the inspiration for the original “Uncle Sam.” d. It is possible that the American icon “Uncle Sam” was merely derived from the initials U.S.
