As much as I love the cute fluff between Arthur and Alfred, it's not like America just rebelled cuz it was like "Screw you dad, I'm done being your little boy" or something D8
Ugh, REALLY. The really weird thing is that a lot of people seem to think that's all there was to it in real life. I can't tell you how many conversations I've gotten into with folks who were like "Oh, America! Just rebelling for nothing and breaking Great Britain's heart! You know, only seven people died in the Boston Massacre!" Like...yes...but that wasn't why they rebelled and arghh.
