New Historical Revelations!

I am always amused by the answers I read on tests, especially mid-terms and finals. Today I have read some real gems that will hopefully make U.S. History just as clear as a brand new pane of glass and not confuse you too much!

  1. The Declaration of Independence was written in the mid-1600s and declared us independent from Spain! It was also written and signed in Washington D.C.
  2. Robert E. Lee was the president of the Confederacy.
  3. Or, Robert E. Lee was the Union General responsible for destroying the Confederacy!
  4. The Cherokee Indians were forced west from their homelands in Georgia because of the Indian Immigration Act to live in Arizona.
  5. The Battle of Saratoga was a surprise attack by General Washington's men after crossing the Potomac River.
  6. Abraham Lincoln began the Civil War.
  7. Missouri wanted to join the Union as a free state and Maine as a slave state.
  8. The Confederacy survived until the mid-1870s.
  9. The Declaration of Independence was written in the 1840s.
Unfortunately, Transformers did not come down to take part in the Civil War, but maybe next time! Merry Christmas!
