I'm glad you guys enjoyed the test. We all did pretty well on it so far.

It makes me think though, we test immigrants on this knowledge and I bet there are ALOT of born-and-raised Americans who might not know this stuff!

Well Americans did have to know it at one point in order to pass their history classes-especially facts like the one on this test. I am sure after the years go by many immigrants who are granted citizenship would not remember everything either-just like some Americans forget it. However I do think it is pretty bad if anyone born here or not- who is now a citizen does not know the very basics about our governement.

I guess your right to a certain extent, but I'm sure alot of it sticks with you if you learned it. I'm a science major in college, so I havent studied US history since 11th grade and I still remember alot of it.
