I have never taken american history, the only thing we heard about you guys was how racist you use to be and a few skirmishes on the boarder. Other then that its just stuff that directly affected us.

I read a lot and enjoy the news very much.

24/30, but I feel like some of the questions weren't correct:

Quote:
23: Which of these amendments is a ratified and current amendment?
Answer was D: Prohibiting the importing of liquor into States where it is illegal. That amendment was thrown out with some other amendment (21 I think)

They explain it later NemaK, the 21st Amendment actually repealed Prohibition but it also prevented people from transporting liquor to states where it was illegal by state law. I got it wrong too btw.

Incorrect. US history Is usually an elective. Sure there might be a small part when the two histories mingled when the Metis kicked American ass but other then that its elective and you can do your entire education without ever encountering US history.

The reason most Canadians are decent at it is because of the near border influence and TV

21/30 not bad but i disagree with several that it says i got wrong. A president can serve more than 2 full terms just not consectulatively (sp i am horrible at spelling)
