part 340 tender lumplings everywhere

The best season is coming, meme! Halloween season! I mean... fall! Yeah, fall. I love the fall. I actually like every season in its own way, but I think fall has the best atmosphere. Crunching leaves and pumpkins and excuses to decorate the outside of your house with fake spider webs and zombie hands. Also it means... Hetalia Halloween fanart! (Maybe even... something from Himaruya? Maybe? Bueller? No?)

Enjoy part 340!

As the reluctant and "only" solution by a vast number of the people is what I meant. Enough that America acting in the Revolution wouldn't be incredibly side-eyed. I'm aware of the controversy of the Revolution and those who were basically chased off when they didn't agree.

I think it's hard to determine a "vast" number of people. It wouldn't be controversial by the popular culture, retrospective American image of the revolution, no. That's because it's typically taught with that "victor writes the history" paint brush of "Yeah, everyone cept some loyalists w/e Benedict Arnold! were amped up for the American Revolution!" But by contemporary times, I think it would be controversial for the representative of America to say: Yes. We are fighting this revolution. I am rebelling. because at the time, it was not as "universal" as we view it today.

But when his country goes to war and many, many people agree and fight, why would America not fight? It's not the same as a Civil War, it's his people against others. With so many people in support of the revolution, including the "leaders" of the time, it's not the same to compare America fighting in the war to him being an extremely open anti-slavery activist in a time when most of his people would think he was crazy.

Yes, what I'm saying is that it was "universal" enough at the time that it's not a good comparison to make with that sort of activism in the same era.
