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.

1. What came from the war of 1812 By Connor D. Michael P. Lauren R. Cori C.

2. Uncle Sam A businessman from Troy, New York, Samuel Wilson, provided the army with beef and pork in barrels during the War of 1812. The barrels were prominently labeled "U.S." for the United States, but it was jokingly said that the letters stood for "Uncle Sam." Soon, Uncle Sam was used as shorthand for the federal government

3. White House The White House came from the war because the British burned the capital and the smoke turned everything black. So they decided to paint it white.

4. Star spangled banner The Star spangled banner comes from a poem by Francis Scott Key. He wrote it while he saw the attack of Ft. McHenry.

5. Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No!
