How well do you know your American history?

The Logical Husband sent me this story the other day and it got us both to thinking how many natural born Americans would be able to pass a similar test for American citizenship. Given the discussions that I have had with Republicans AND Democrats lately I am afraid the answer is not encouraging.

According to this page, one of the question is "What is the day of Independence? Independence from whom?" Now to me those seem to be brutally easy questions to answer, but according to a radio bit that Sean Hannity aired on his program yesterday, the majority of people that they talked to on the streets of New York had no clue that we won our independence from the British. I would not have believed it if I had not heard it with my own ears.
