Julia 4 years ago 4/12 History was not my favorite subject. WillieBDare 4 years ago What does France have to do with the quiz on the Gettysburg address? That’s not American history, even if they adopted it from a great American speech. Patty L 4 years ago 9/12… Some good guesses and math. ?? Jan13 4 years ago 8 right, should have done better. I wonder, are today’s students taught the American Civil War? Heard some new history books only have a few paragraphs about Lincoln and not too much on Founding Fathers. Sorry state of how the country is heading.? Sherry Ware 4 years ago 11/12, I only missed the month it was given. I guessed July, the month the battle was fought. The speech was given a few months later in November. I’m a retired 5th-grade teacher. We did a unit on the Civil War every year in 5th grade. My students memorized the Gettysburg Address to recite for their parents at the end of the year ceremony. I miss those times now, but hundreds of students have gone on to high school, college, and successful careers and I am so very proud of them. A few of them keep in touch on Facebook. demarree1 4 years ago 10/12 Guess I remember my history better than I thought. CAR 4 years ago Ridiculous questions # 2 & #10. Veronica 4 years ago Got them all correct. Kate 4 years ago Not too bad, 8/12. I have certainly done a lot worse before. So, I’m OK.

George 4 years ago In response to a couple of reply’s, all I have to say is that we need to find the way to take education away from the progressives, or whatever they call themselves today Glenn Scott 4 years ago 11/12, I only missed the month it was given Richard Lilly 4 years ago 7 correct. I’m not as honest as Abe was. Slymet 4 years ago Got 10 out of 12 correct. Missed questions 6 and 10. I didn’t know when the Gettysburg Address was delivered. I knew the year, but not the month. So November would have been a bit chilly. Ron 4 years ago got 11 correct, missed the month of when the address was given. But I have been to Gettysburg a few times with grandchildren LJ Larsen 4 years ago 11 right. Maybe I cheat because I read an article about the topics that are quizzed before I take it. I am always surprised about how much I relearn and remember. I also learn much more than what is on the quiz. Mikey 3 years ago 9 of 12. Only 2-3 minutes to deliver a 271 word speech? Speed reading. I guessed April for the month it was given. I also guessed that the war was over, but I was thinking abut the Emancipation Proclamation. wpDiscuz330Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
