You Are a Smart American
You know a lot about US history, and you're opinions are probably well informed.
Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be.

Average, but then I am British and have never had an interest in learning this sort of data.

I got 7 out of 10 correct. Not so bad, for a Canadian.

You got 7/10 correct.
You know a good deal about American history, but there's some basic facts you have wrong.
Time to go back to history class!

American aspies are probably the only Americans that honestly qualify as smart Americans. Put this on a non aspie board and you'll see dumb Americans galore.

The discontent goes back into the '60s and maybe even into the '50s, but I was thinking of events which history calls military engagements in the War: Lexington and Concord in April of 1775.

You know a little bit about America, but not enough to win a game show.
Hit the books, before you embarrass yourself.

And I'm English.
