Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States dating from the War of 1812. Common folklore holds that his origins trace back to soldiers stationed in upstate New York, who would receive barrels of meat stamped with the initials U.S. The soldiers jokingly referred to it as the initials of the meat supplier, Uncle Samuel Wilson, of Troy, New York. The 87th United States Congress adopted the following resolution on September 15, 1961: "Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives that the Congress salutes Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of America's National symbol of Uncle Sam." A monument marks his birthplace in Arlington, Massachusetts. However, counter-arguments to this theory have been raised by some (for example, see Cecil Adams' article at The Straight Dope) so the precise origin of the term may never be proven.

The Irish currency is the Euro. Before 2002 the currency was the Irish Pound, or the Punt. \n\nA Guinea was an old name for a coin worth a pound and a shilling (5 pence).

Felix the Cat. He was drawn by an Australian Pat Sullivan and was the first cartoon character of any note. I had never heard of Rory Emerald. \n\nIt seems I am not the only one. Rory Emerald gets less than 500 Google hits. Felix the Cat gets 1.33 million.

An Irish seven course meal? A six pack and a potato don't you know! The first American St. Pats Parade, 1776 and all of what is today Washington D.C. turned out to cheer. America then accepted the Irish. The English stereotyped the Irish fleeing their attempt to starve them to death and much of their American ancestors carried that bigoted cause, second strike...most were those less than humans were ,Catholics...and all Protestants "know" what vermin they are! \n  But in all honesty one Irishman arrived with crime and a love to get others to enjoy strong drink as well as he himself did. And to this day his family does all in its power to make the world believe that it is heredity for Irish Catholics to be power mad drunken criminals...So I suppose Teddy, Patrick et all the Kennedy's are just following a long family tradition. You do know Teddy's gran built the family fortune by being a murderous bootlegger? Funny what passes for old money in America.

Hi Dotti! I got your message, thanks for contacting me. \nIf you're interested here are some other bits of info I've gathered. The stone of scone is also known as the lia fail which is Irish for the stone of destiny, it's believed that Jeremiah brought it with him to Ireland from Israel before the Irish monks took it to the Scottish island of Iona etc.\nOllamh Foladh was the Irish name given to Jeremiah and is mentioned in several places in the annals of Ireland. Now there are two Scotias mentioned in the Irish annals - one of them was the daughter of the pharoh Hectonibus/Nectonibus so that's just something to watch out for when you're researching. You mentioned the flag, another interesting thing is that in Northern Ireland, okay... how to explain this... Ireland is made up of four provinces, three of them are in the republic of Ireland and one of them, Ulster is ruled from Westminster and is part of the United Kindom. The symbol for the province of ulster is a red hand - remember Zarah and Pharez and the midwife tieing a red thread on the hand of one of the babies? The symbol of Ireland is the harp of David which is also on the queen of Englands coat of arms, at one point the king of England was also the king of Ireland which is why the harp is on their coat of arms. And of course the lion of Judah, symbol of Scotland. One last thing, Scotia is the ancient name for Ireland. In the time of Jeremiah Scotland was a province of Ireland and ruled by the Irish high king in much the same way as Northern Ireland is now ruled from England.The Scots retained the name Scotia when the Romans renamed Ireland as Hiberia. The romans often referred to the Irish as the Scotti. Scotland was also mainly populated by Irish migrants. The native language of both the Irish and Scots is Gaelic, the Scots speak an older version of the language but there are still amazing similarities right up to the present day. Scotland also had a native people called the Picts. I hope you find this helpful and I'll try to dig up some of my old notes and web sites over the next few weeks and I'll get back to you if you like. Gb Esther.

1862: The first $1 bill was issued as a Legal Tender Note (United States Note) with a portrait of Salmon P. Chase, the Treasury Secretary under President Lincoln.\n\nThe first U.S. President George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. The one dollar bill has the oldest design of all U.S. currency currently being produced. The obverse debuted in 1963 when the $1 bill first became a Federal Reserve Note and the reverse debuted in 1935.
