Most of those things where explained to me in school, but I didn't pay attention to it and didn't study it because I'm not interested in history.

I did very well on the geography part though.
Also I knew some other things, and I guessed others I didn't know by exclusion or just by luck.

Note: "We wuz robbed!" was first shouted by Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmelling, when at the end of a fight Max seemed to have handily won, the decision instead went to Jack Sharkey (June 22, 1932).

WTF are you talking about?

Didn't bother taking the test, but have heard some of the questions elsewhere & believe I would fail it.
Sounds like the kind of stuff I had to learn for high school history classes & tests, which has been forgotten decades ago.
Thank goodness, I was born here & am already a citizen, don't have to prove myself beyond that.

EDIT: Okay, I took the test-and actually passed. Expected it to be harder than it was.
Got 89 right, 7 wrong, 93% correct. Dunno' the cutoff #, but I'd guess I did well enough.
