YES! I got the lowest score here!

25%

I thought I'd do alot worse, considering I've never taken a history class, and I have no idea how that governmental stuff works.

Just for kicks, let's see how well you Americans do on the UK equivalent. Bet the Brits do better on the US test than vice-versa.

That makes more sense.
I was wondering why there would be a holiday dedicated to a violent sport such as boxing right after Christmas. :lol

Don't wait for someone to teach you something.  The greatest minds and people in history have been the folks that taught themselves.  Be proactive.
