The War of 1812 gave rise to several enduring symbols of American identity. Uncle Sam originated as a nickname for Samuel Wilson, who supplied meat to the American army during the war. The White House was painted white after being burned by the British army during their invasion of Washington D.C. The Star Spangled Banner emerged from a poem written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry, which would later become the American national anthem.
