Congratulations - you got 10 out of 10 correct!

Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

As I'm an American citizen, I guess I should pass. However, I can envision American citizens who wouldn't pass the test.

Well, bravo! The first step to being a good American is to know American history. It was taught quite rigourously when I was a lad (Mr O'Neill at St. John's was my American history teacher; I'm sure he's still around) but I suppose that it's slipping away as successive Presidents fill the airwaves with fluff and bloviation (a term coined about which American President of the first quarter of the 20th Century, for $100!) Good luck in your research...may it make the days at sea less boring.

See the one advantage to the internet is that a properly googled word is easily found: H.L. Menken used the word to describe Warren Harding. It's amazing how much the term is used to describe presidents and politicians, especially for some reason in relation to Uncle Teddy Kennedy.

I like this game though, so here is one for you, a little local trivia, there was at one time a Main Street in Salem, MA, but it was renamed for which US President and why?

Did a quick Google but didn't have a clue. My guess is Washington Street, probably renamed in honour of Washington when he was in the area. He hit Marblehead too, and Washington Street there was named for him, since he slept in the Lee Mansion on that street.
