Alfred was raised on the thought that freedom was bad for the 13 colonies, never daring to think otherwise. Arthur Kirkland wanted to protect him, but had to give it up for his duty. When Alfred grew, he no longer saw the perfect forming nation he was told. He saw something that needed changed. He saw something that needed a revolution. And nothing would stop him from fighting for it, hail, high water, or death. He will fight for freedom. (Actually historically accurate, lol!)
