I got 9, but I think I got some easy questions. I won’t pretend to know enough about the revolution. I think one thing that isn’t taught enough are events that led up to the Declaration. I remember the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere’s ride, Nathan Hale’s quote, (but not the reason he was on the gallows in the first place) and the Boston Tea Party. I don’t remember anybody in school ever doing more than teaching a timeline, probably to pass a standardized test.
