When they said History was America's worst subject, they weren't kidding.
According to a new poll by Marist, more than a quarter of Americans couldn’t correctly identify the country from which the United States declared its independence. While 74 percent correctly named Great Britain, 20 percent said they weren’t sure and six percent named other countries. In the South, 32 percent of respondents either responded incorrectly or weren’t sure.
A total of 26% aren't quite sure who America went to war with for independence.
Perhaps instead of grilling hotdogs and hamburgers on Monday, those 26% should attend a history lesson.
