Random information on the term “Uncle Sam”:
The Uncle Sam billboard is a billboard alongside Interstate 5 near Chehalis, Washington, in the United States.
The two-sided billboard, which depicts Uncle Sam, is located beside Interstate 5 (I-5), near Exit 72 in Chehalis. For more than 30 years, Alfred Hamilton used the sign to promote his “archconservative views in big block letters”. Since Hamilton’s death in 2004, the billboard’s conservative messages have continued; it is purportedly maintained by Hamilton’s grandson. I-5 motorists have been called a “captive audience”, as congestion often causes traffic jams between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, both generally considered liberal. In 2003, an average of 50,000 motorists drove the stretch daily, including northbound and southbound.
Hamilton began posting messages after I-5 was constructed across his turkey farm in the early 1960s. The first message he and his wife, Ruth, posted was based on their anger towards the government for funding welfare programs. Hamilton further resented the government for interfering with his ability to lease billboard space following Lady Bird Johnson’s Highway Beautification Act. The New York Times described Hamilton as a “cranky crusader” who “loved a fight” and a “stubborn man, a turkey farmer with a big belly full of opinions”. According to the paper, “Mr. Hamilton minced no words in attacking virtually everything and everyone that irritated him: gun control, the government and gays, Russians and radicals, Kissinger and Kerry.” One of his friends recalled Hamilton’s belief that “all Democrats were ‘damn fools'”, saying: “In many instances – and we were pretty close – I warned people not to get into discussions of religion and politics with him. He was so set in his ways that it was unusual.”
Random information on the term “USA”:
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, the first president of the United States and a Founding Father. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city is also one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million tourists annually.
The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country’s East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress, and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.
