Sambo is a term for a person with African heritage and, in some countries, also mixed with Native American heritage. The word today has negative connotations toward African-Americans.Formerly, it had the technical meaning of a person having a mixture of black and white ancestry, more black than white—contrast with mulatto, quadroon, octoroon etc. In modern US English and British English. Examples of \"Sambo\" as a common name can be found as far back as the 19th century. In Thackeray\'s novel Vanity Fair (serialised from 1847), the black skinned Indian servant of the Sedley family from Chapter One, is called Sambo. Similarly, in Harriet Beecher Stowe\'s novel, Uncle Tom\'s Cabin (1852), one of Simon Legree\'s overseers is named Sambo. Instances of it being used as a stereotypical name for African Americans can be found as early as the Civil War.
