I got 5 out of 10. Not terrible I suppose. The only one that really threw me for a loop was 3. I thought I got that one right, but did not.

More history:
Napoleon marched his men
He turned around and he said to them
Vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-doe-de-o-doe
Vo-doe-doe
And Washington at Valley Forge
It was bitter cold when up spoke George
Vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-doe-de-o-doe
And do you remember Patrick Henry
Patrick Henry and that speech, that wonderful speech
When he cried, "Give me, give me liberty or black bottom!"
Take Paul Revere on that midnight ride
Jumped on a horse and loudly cried
"Vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-doe-de-o-doe"
Mark Anthony, way back then
Said "Friends, Romans and Countrymen
Vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-doe-de-o-doe"
And in the Great War, that late war
Mid shot and shell there came a yell
Let's go boys, you doughboys
Give 'em, give 'em Black Bottom
I've sung so much of this to you
I bet that you'll be singing too
Vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-doe-de-o-doe
What's this forcing me to think,bullshit?
Does guessing & not knowing count even for one question?
If I'm not sure about something,I research.
The facts are important,not my memory of the facts.
I'll be back & able to say I know the correct answers to the 10 questions.
One thing I know for a fact, I'm independent of others' racial,cultural,political,religious,value systems.
True Independence!
One downside is being stuck in other's economic fubar.
FREEDOM!: Not allowing one's self to be brainwashed.
This is a history that one should look back on with pride & a hardy FUCK YOU!

#IndependenceDay
Hope everyone has a safe and sane day today.
Worth taking a moment out of the day's activities to remember the high price that was paid and we continue to pay in lost lives, injuries, forgotten veterans and others to be able to celebrate this day.
