So, I didn't draw this but I did some editing on it to make it a bit brighter and stuff, but anyway! I really love the tone of this picture, and I think it really captures America's feelings after the Revolution--even his people. This country (and Alfred, respectively) started out with deep ties to England, and having those ties severed suddenly was a shock and different, no matter how much we wanted freedom. I think the fact that we were able to rebuild that relationship (in real life, and Alfred and Arthur in Hetalia) is a true testament to the strength between America and England.
