Description Yay! Another deviation! **shot** I'm so sporadic with my updating it's not even funny. T_T Anyways...a little explanation to the yaoi flag...

**clears throat**

Anyways, the flag is called the Grand Union Flag, which is historically the first flag used by America although it holds no official status as such. The flag was first flown on December 2, 1775 by John Paul Jones (then a Continental Navy lieutenant) on the ship Alfred in Philadelphia. It wasn't until the Flag Act of 1777 that the Betsy Ross flag was used.

History is officially gay.

You're welcome! I'm learning to teach myself about this part of American history, so I get excited whenever I see something to do with it

XD I'm glad! If you have any questions about this time period let me know. I'm a HUGE US history lover (World History too) so most of my pieces will have something to do with it. Plus with how things are going in the US right now, I feel that we could use a little reminding as to who we were in contrast what we have become...

Okay, thanks for the offer! And the watch, by the way!

I...know next to nothing about American history, since I'm not from the States so it didn't show up much in my school curriculum. But I want to learn some, so here I am Personally, I blame Hetalia for making me interested in it, though...I've always liked history, but it was more oriented towards Europe until the past year or so, when I've started to re-explore my own country's history as well as America's.

Both America and Canada have very interesting histories, which is why I get bothered by the rest of the world not necessarily seeing that. :T **sighs** North and South America are cool too! D: Europe's not the only continent!
