- Brother_Jonathan abstract "Brother Jonathan is the national personification and emblem of New England. He is also an allegory of capitalism and transcendent aspirations.According to legend, Brother Jonathan came into use during the American War for Independence. Brother Jonathan soon became a stock fictional character, developed as a good-natured parody of all New England during the early American Republic. He was widely popularized by the weekly Brother Jonathan and the wildly popular humor magazine Yankee Notions. A phrase attributed to Gen. George Washington, "We must consult Brother Jonathan" is used in New England to this day, at Yale University, to celebrate the part the northern colonies played for independence from Great Britain.In editorial cartoons and patriotic posters outside New England, Brother Jonathan was usually depicted as a long-winded New Englander who dressed in striped trousers, somber black coat, and stove-pipe hat. He much resembled Abraham Lincoln shortly before his assassination, who by donning the same famous props of Brother Jonathan put himself forth as a representative of New England in the minds of the American public well acquainted with the Brother Jonathan of the popular press. Inside New England, "Brother Jonathan" was depicted as an enterprising and "go-ahead-itive" businessman who blithely boasted of Yankee conquests for the Universal Yankee Nation.Surpassing John Bull, the legacy of Brother Jonathan spread and endures to this day. During the American Civil War, many of the distinctive traits of Brother Jonathan were reflected in beloved Abraham Lincoln's presidential style. After 1865, the garb of Brother Jonathan was emulated by Uncle Sam, a common personification of the continental government of the United States.".
