How Well Would You Do On This Quiz On Your Addopted Country
I think this Brit did well (probably better than 90% of our High School or College grads) I’ll admit I did miss the one of the date when Hawaii was annexed as a territory ...

I missed about 4 of them.
BTW, Nixon was not impeached -- he resigned.

Well, thar's your problem right thar...the question was on annexation, not full statehood.

I don't think 0.00001% of the entire population could answer that. To me, that would seem to be an aid in keeping bad folks out, just give them a test made up of questions like that. 1- How many fringes on Custer's jacket?
2- At Concord, what was the name of the colonist that fired " The Shot Heard 'Round The World?"
3-- You get the idea.

Officially, I missed 3.
I got the Hawaii question right.
I jumped the gun on the American Revolution question because for some reason I was thinking of the Boston Massacre.
I missed the Liberia question too. And one more I don't remember.
