What are the basic characteristics of American culture?

The Statue of Liberty, Barbie, American Gothic, Bison Nickel and Uncle Sam are called the five symbols of American culture. Since the Statue of Liberty stood in new york Bay in 1886, it has always been a promise of the dream of immigrating to the United States. The statue was designed by a French artist to celebrate the independence of the United States and the alliance between the United States and France. It is said that the beautiful arm of the statue comes from the artist's wife, and its vicissitudes and resolute face comes from the artist's mother. Barbie, the doll queen, is the favorite doll of almost all girls and even adult women. The inspiration for creating Barbie comes from Barbara, the daughter of Handler, the co-founder of an American toy company, who introduced a decent and authentic American doll Barbie in 1959 on the basis of a sexy German adult doll. Ironically, the Handler' daughter loves Barbie, but their son Ken hates it. American Gothic may not be so famous, but the Gothic windows on the old house in the portrait, especially the solemn expression of the farmer and the long-necked wife made the painter famous overnight in 193. This painting shows the solemn pride of American farmers. Bison nickels were issued from 1913 to 1938, which was a memorial of the famous artist James Earle Fraser to bison and Indians, the victims of the western development of the United States. Both bison and Indians on nickel coins create with real prototypes. Uncle Sam, an American alias, is a tall man with white hair, a small white beard, a dark blue coat and a top hat dotted with stars. During the American Revolution, an honest and diligent young man named Sam Wilson was responsible for testing the meat supplied to the American army, and the tested meat was marked with EA-SA, where EA stands for the name of the meat company and US stands for the United States of origin. Later, US was deliberately translated into Uncle Sam by a company employee; Since then, Uncle Sam's name has spread among the soldiers. During World War I and World War II, the artist Montgomery Flagg painted his image as Uncle Sam on the recruitment poster, and the image of Uncle Sam gained a lasting status.
