According to an article in the 1893 The Lutheran Witness, Uncle Sam was simply another name for Brother Jonathan: When we meet him in politics we call him Uncle Sam; when we meet him in society we call him Brother Jonathan.
Međutim, prema članku iz 1893. godine iz The Lutheran Witness, Ujak Sam je jednostavno bilo drugo ime za Brata Jonathana: "Kada ga susrećemo u politici, zovemo ga Ujak Sam; kada ga susrećemo u zajednici, zovemo ga Brat Jonathan.
