    And your hair flows like.. The ocean breeze...

      Personally I don't see any real reference to your real history there.

      Now if it was about the Mayflower, and the first colonies from england that first settled your country then I could help you alot as some of the "Pilgrims" came from the region i live in.

          Re: Test your knowledge of US history &lt;__&lt;!

          It's sorta history related. About half of it has to do more with the history behind the history than the history itself. The other half is more based on the political system in general.

          Anyway, I got about 9 of them, and one of them I found the answer to on Wikipedia in about seven seconds. I can also say that one of your answers is completely wrong. Hint: Consult a dictionary.

              I'm just going to say that if knowledge of U.S History relied on a complete knowledge of politics, even presidential candidates (not just VPs) would be totally screwed

                      Wrong. First of all, that's a type of person or group, not government. Once it's in power, it wouldn't be revolutionary, would it? Secondly, there are revolutions that don't involve overthrowing the government, or using violence (see Gandhi, US Civil Rights Movement, etc)
