Your question about the oldest continuously inhabited street needs further research. Philadelphia was founded in 1682. Hampton VA was established in July 1610. Further, St Augustine FL was founded in 1565. There are many more much older streets in the U.S.

While it’s true those cities are older than Philadelphia, Elfreths alley is billed as the oldest continually occupied street in America. Since the street was built there has always been residents living there. Just a little clarification.

Technically how can you have a war chief on the side of a battle, where one side was not planing on having a battle? The Indian side was chilling out along a river with their family's. making preparations for winter. Where they were taken by surprise. Are you saying Sitting Bulls, battle plan was, lets not have any look outs, & lets wait till some old woman mistakes the US Cavalry, for a herd of buffalo come by. Then in small unorganized groups, we'll swarm out, attack & kill them all. There were many great Chiefs at that battle but, I'd call it more of a wild melee with no chief in charge at the time.

Twenty-nine correct, eleven wrong. James Buchanan's niece was his First Lady. I got the prohibition question wrong because of the word "introduced." The Eighteenth Amendment was signed in 1919, but did not kick in until 1920.
@johnbernstein7887
@johnbernstein7887 2 года назад
Same here. I missed the Eighteenth Amendment because I went for passage, not enforcement. I couldn't think of the President and went with Millard Fillmore. I did pull the Columbia out of my rear-end and I got lucky with Tubman as combat assignments aren't given to women, so it had to be Civil War related. I missed three and the Third one, Philadelphia, was just plain stupid. I went for George Washington's presidential address

@Steel6W2
@Steel6W2 2 года назад
A few issues I noticed that may result in falsely wrong answers. #19- The question did not specify AFTER the Constitution was ratified. Other cities such as Baltimore, MD and York, PA also claim to have been the first US capital. #20- Some members of congress did sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. Others signed on August 2nd (or even later). #32- James Buchanan's first Lady was actually his niece, not his sister. #33- There were more than two beaches involved on D-Day. Juno, Sword, and Gold are also acceptable answers.
@John-yv7dc

Well chosen questions covering a wide range of US history, except # 20 (re. Declaration of Independence) and 23 (re. "formally" recognizing China) are really deceptive, akin to the fine print on a contract - I got almost all of the first 20 and then the last half were much harder, so my fns score was 25/40. All in all it was good brain exercise - thanks!

Excellent quiz. I didn't keep count but think I fell in the 60-65% area. I'm 83 and all my life I've been plagued with a selective memory. As hard as I tried in college I could only maintain 3.5 GPA.

24/40 - Not bad for a Canadian I guess. Got hammered in the end with the last 4 wrong. Good quiz. White house got burned in War of 1812 so I guessed 1813. 1814 was the answer. I should've known that...now I do. Even the Capitol was burned.

The British probably would have won if they weren't fighting Napoleon. Of course, it wouldn't have begun if it wasn't for the Napoleonic War. If they had won, slavery would have been abolished.

Missed 2: "Saratoga" as turning point of the Revolutionary War - was taught it was Bunker Hill - then the Sister/First Lady. Thought it might have been Cleveland since he was a bachelor when he started his first term and married while serving as President. It's easy to forget James Buchanan in the greater scheme of things.
