Making her first trek to New Hampshire as a 2012 prospect, Bachmann told a GOP crowd in Manchester: “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.”

Big deal. The sad fact of things is that 9 of 10 Americans would not recognize this as a mistake. There is only local impact on this gaff.

Ah...but in New England voters of a more adult age with roots in the same..take pride in the history of our 13 colonies [and still fly the flag on the 4th] as so we are often related to the early founders, governors, Tories, etc. Maine was an exclave of Massachusetts until 1820.

Now once I spoke to a customer service person [and not India] and she asked if New England was in Europe..so...lol will give you that.

Plus, remember you can't fool a 5th grader!!
