America's Birthday Quiz


In honor of tomorrow's holiday, I thought I'd link to a 4th of July quiz. This one is from AARP, and it's a history one.


Let me know how you do. I only got 70%. Some historical things I know, others not so much.

    I only got half of them right. History isn't my strong point :)

    I got 60%. I guess I better take a history refresher course :) Happy 4th!

    Ha! I got 40%. Very interesting factoids there, but not what I'd call your standard history. And I don't follow baseball AT ALL. Have a great 4th!

    I don't think I'll know much, so I'll give the quiz a miss. But happy 4th of July!

      Some of them I knew from random things, others were kind of out there.

    I'm afraid to even try. History is NOT my strength!

      You should at least try it. You might surprise yourself.

    I got 3 out of 10. Sheesh. But that baseball question seems more like BASEBALL trivia, not 4th of July trivia (said the lawyer, arguing his case!)

      True. I missed that question. I don't follow baseball at all.

    Well, I started out as a history major - and I only got 50%. I wasn't even following baseball by 1983! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      There are so many easy quizzes out there. I didn't want to do that. I guess I found one that was too hard.

    I'm not going to tell you how many I got right (two, cough) - but my excuse is that I'm British! I now know a lot more than I did before.

I appreciate your comments.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
