Description: Columbia is a personification of the United States and its values, often depicted as a goddess-like female figure. The concept of Columbia originated in 1697 when Chief Justice Samuel Sewall wrote a poem suggesting the American colonies be named Columbina. Columbia became a symbol of the new nation during the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and World War I. Columbia's image evolved over time, from almost Native American to more Anglo-American in World War I posters. Columbia's popularity declined as the Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam became more prominent symbols of the United States. Thank you for viewing this listing.
