The nickname of the United States is "Uncle Sam". Legend has it that during the Anglo-American War in 1912, Sam Wilson, a businessman from Troy, New York, wrote "u.s." on barrels supplying beef to the army, indicating that it was the property of the United States. This is exactly the same as the abbreviation ("u.s.") of his nickname "uncle sam", so people jokingly said that these supplies with the "u.s." mark belonged to "Uncle Sam". Later, "Uncle Sam" gradually became a nickname for the United States. In the 1830s, American cartoonists drew "Uncle Sam" as a tall, white-haired old man wearing a star-striped hat and a goat's beard. In 1961, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution officially recognizing "Uncle Sam" as a symbol of the United States.

Flag: Stars and Stripes. It is a horizontal rectangle with a length-to-width ratio of 19:10. The main body consists of 13 wide red and white stripes, 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes; the upper left corner of the flag is a blue rectangle with 50 white five-pointed stars arranged in 9 rows. Red symbolizes strength and courage, white represents purity and innocence, and blue symbolizes vigilance, perseverance and justice. The 13 wide bars represent the 13 states that first launched and won the War of Independence, and the 50 five-pointed stars represent the number of states in the United States of America. In 1818, the U.S. Congress passed a bill that fixed the number of red and white stripes on the flag to 13, and the number of five-pointed stars should be consistent with the number of states in the United States. Each time a new state is added, a star is added to the flag, usually on July 4th of the second year after the new state is added. So far, the number of stars on the flag has increased to 50, representing the 50 states of the United States. June 14th every year is "American Flag Day". On this day, commemorative activities are held across the United States to show respect for the flag and love for the United States.
