We Want You!

Uncle Sam

This is a primary document produced during World War II that characterized the war as a “Good War” for Americans. This poster was definitely pro-war and the author believed they were fighting for a good cause. The authors objective in this propaganda poster was to get young males to join the army. The techniques used are Uncle Sam is shown looking tough and confident, also saying “you” may make people feel more directly contacted with the poster. This objective was achieved because it is still a very popular pro-war sign today.

    In my opinion this poster is an accurate representation of the efforts the nation went to, to get people to enlist in fighting in the war. The poster made fighting for the war seem like the right thing to do. Uncle Same pointing his finger was a clever way to illustrate that fighting in this war would be a patriotic thing to do as well.

    This poster pictures Uncle Sam encouraging people to join the army to help the United States win the war. In my opinion, the poster above is a good representation for the United States in World War II. Citizens making the effort to help out in any war effort shows patriotism and dedication.

    Uncle same was encouraging people to join the army because the US Army needed soldiers in order to win world war two. This Ad, I believe, represents the time period where the U.S was in desperate need of soldiers.
