    Knowing that I was one of those one in fifty, I didn't even bother to take it.

    Promoted to General, 56 out of 61, guessed a few though, geez, that was a long quiz.

    it was more like a test than a quiz.

    I'm embarrassed. I knew all the Abe Lincoln questions right. Common sense failed me. I got 30 of 61 correct......

    Clonge

    In case you didn't know, Lincoln was the president during the war. Did you go to school in Texas? Who were you taught was the president of the US at the time...Jefferson Davis?

    I know about Lincoln, idjit, what I was trying to say is I got all the Lincoln referring questions correct. Ford theater, Johnson, the play as well as how many were hung as co-conspirators. I was taught history here in Texas but curiosity took me beyond what was taught.
    Clonge

    I'm glad you were curious. It's just that history is often revisionist history or totally made-up. What exactly was being taught in southern schools before the war, and during and after? Was it taught that Lincoln was the president of the U.S. or the Union? There are some southerners, who are "still fighting the Civil War." That being said, you are my only friend south of the Mason-Dixon Line!

    President of the US. As a Texan, anybody born north Amarillo is a Yankee. I'll make you the exception.
    jhharlan

    History is written by the winners. Or not, just ask donald
    Clonge

    North of Amarillo? What does that make James? Isn't Amarillo an island?
    jhharlan

    James was born in S.D.. This is probably why he's living elsewhere now days.....
    Clonge

    Right...South Dakota! Where Mt. Rushmore is a county, and Roosevelt, Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson are cities!

    Listening to you two guys from an Aussie point of view,one would think there is still a division between the north and the south..correct me if i am wrong.>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    Let's put it this way:  I got all the ones I knew correct!

    ROMOS

    A fail then?
    Bob/PKB

    Why would you think that? You know how humble I am.
    Clonge

    Humble? That reminds me of a song: https:(Link removed by moderator) (Scroll down to the Trump video. I would have linked it, but some might find it disturbing. It's hysterical.)
    Bob/PKB

    I'll pass on the YouTube poking fun at the President. That doesn't entertain or amuse me.

    If 45% is passing..... yes!

    ROMOS

    Nah!

    ....80%

    ROMOS

    You only answered 80% of the questions, complete it and it will show your real score.
    61 questions.
    Benthere

    It's been a lloonnnggg time since the 11th grade---- when our history teacher talked endlessly about all the battles in the civil war. Who can remember all that stuff ? 

    ROMOS

    I suppose your teacher actually took part in the war?
