In honor of Independence Day, take the TalkingSides.com Founding Fathers Quiz. Find out how much you know about the men who lead the American colonies toward independence and through the first few years as the United States of America
This quiz will test your knowledge of some of the most important men in American history and the roles they played during those first turbulent years. Take the quiz now.
If the Marxist in the White House pushes too hard, we may all be looking for another “Independence Day.”
From:
“Barack Hussein Obama, hear us, loyal Americans whose bloodlines run deep in this land, back to the founding & beyond, who have watered the ground of this nation & foreign soils to maintain our liberty & constitution: Molon Labe-Sic Semper Tyranus-De Oppresso Liber. Your Marxism shall not stand in this land, so help us God!” - Jeff Head, July 3, 2010

Is it just me or is the quiz extremely difficult?
It’s not just you. I got 7 out of 20 correct and was pronounced a Founding Fathers Scholar.
In the NY school system that would’ve got me an ‘E’.
“Is it just me or is the quiz extremely difficult?”
I stopped after the 4th question. These are History Major type questions.
Who is the only man to sign all four of the major founding documents of the United States?
Answer: "Benjamin Franklin"
"Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris, the Treaty of Alliance with France, and the United States Constitution."
The correct answer is Roger Sherman.
He signed the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.
His name doesn't appear in any of the possible answers to any of the questions. He was far more important than Thomas Paine and others listed in the quiz. But Sherman was a Federalist, devout, a hard money guy who believed in delegated powers. His side lost and he is lost to public skool history .

What is your point?
Yep...I was looking for Sherman’s name but picked Franklin’s in its absence.
Thanks CaroleL. Also a poll FReep on that page, probably different every day?
