After winning the Revolutionary War, America was excited to be on his own and make his own decisions. But as he soon found out, that wasn't as easy as he thought.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jones, but the bank isn't doing very well…" said Thomas Jefferson. "And I think it's because Alexander Hamilton's National Bank violates the Constitution."

"I know, I know, dude," America said, worried about his economy. He didn't want to get sick, after all. "I'm working on it."

On top of running out of money, America was also receiving multiple letters from England saying things like, "I told you so, bloody git," and, "You stupid Americans, thinking you can run your own government."

This definitely did not help America's self-esteem, but he knew England was just venting his anger, sadness, and frustration, so America tried not to take those words to heart. He just had to stay strong and keep moving forward.
