The original Uncle Sam was a meat packer who supplied barrels to the US Army.

The original Uncle Sam refers to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. His barrels were marked with "U.S.", which soldiers jokingly associated with "Uncle Sam".
