What do you know about the American Revolution?
In case you have some free time and would like to test your knowledge of the American Revolution, here is a test you can take.
The American Revolution Center
I didn't do so well myself. I've been reading but I guess I'm not absorbing the information that readily.
I don't know if it was just on my end but it took a while for the pages to load. You might need some patience to get through the test.
It's interesting, if your into this kind of thing.

The Armistead question might have been tough for some but, I've lived in Yorktown for twenty years.
It seemed like a basic 7th grade US history quiz.

Yes, it did. I was never a very good student. Maybe I'm not alone?

Where is the Liberty Bell?
Where was the last major battle fought?
How many Stripes are on the Flag?
Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
Who said 'Give me Liberty or Give me Death'?
What starts withe 'We the People...' ?
Can't remember the others except the 'Armistead' question.
When I saw that one I said 'wow' and figured they didn't want anybody that didn't live within five houses of me to get a 100.
Maybe they don't ask the same questions each time, too slow for me to sit thru again.

There was a T or F about Haym Solomon.
I'm thinking they had two ringer questions to water the aggregate score down to 80.
Eight Mickey Mouse questions then they hit you with who are Solomon and Armistead.
I guess they have an agenda.

I saw something about him, but did not see it was a question. I did not answer anything T or F, I was sucker punched. Yep, those were loaded questions to prove you are a racist.
