4.   What was the first state in the union?
   o    Massachusetts
   o    Delaware
   o    Connecticut
   o    Virginia #
Actually, I know this one...the correct answer is Delaware, which was the first of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the American Constitution (in 1787, I believe).

You Are a Smart American



You know a lot about US history, and you're opinions are probably well informed.
Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be.

Jude, I don't think it can be Virginia, because it was (is?) a Commonwealth, as are Massachusetts and I think Connecticut.  Which leaves Delaware by default.  (I think.)

It wasn't on the list, but I think Kentucky is a commonwealth too.  :D
