I was disappointed that I missed 5 of these....I totally misread one question, which had I not been in a hurry I would of been able to determine correctly, but 5 out of 30 = 84%....I hope they’re grading on a curve.

Shoot. Missed 3. Should've known one of them, too.

Who the hell are 'Jon and Kate', anyway?

Yeah, I punted on that one. Didn’t even try a guess. I would have guessed 10, which was wrong anyway.

I would probably do pretty poorly on this quiz if I tried it, but so what? Dates, names and locations are just dates, names, and locations. I’m more concerned that people can’t seem to remember the ideas and principles for which the Revolutionary War was fought.

Good test. I Missed 4....it said I “Have Knowledge”, which was cool until I realized how much my head hurts now. Some of those took some serious thought, a few educated guesses and at least one SWAG.

I attempted to take the quiz at the site. Must be overloaded or something. Before I could even read the question they put x’s over all the choices and said that I skipped them.

17 out of 20. Not great, but better than any liberal.

Wrong answers:

John Marshall
Whiskey Rebellion
Saratoga

Congrats! Better than me...I was suprised about the Marx answer and you could argue with the Yorktown answer where the British basically showed up to surrender...Saratoga was more decisive.

A great test...stuff I hadn’t thought about in a longtime.
