Wait until elementary school is 50 years in your rear view mirror and let me know if you're still astounded then.

While not quite 50 years, I finished elementary school in 1985, and I got 100% on this quiz in 16 seconds... and that includes double checking my answers. I somehow don't think I'm suddenly going to be befuddled by it a decade from now, lol.

Vermont and Maine. People think that all of New England was part of the original colonies. They don't realize that Vermont was part of New Hampshire and New York and then was an independent nation and Maine was part of New York.

Actually no, Vermont was claimed by New York and New Hampshire, but the mayority of Vermont was not part of the 13 colonies

Vermont was originally claimed as part of French Canada, disputed between New York and New Hampshire, and then claimed independence, joining the US later.

I’m not American and I remember seeing a map of the original 13 colonies that included present day Vermont and Maine. I didn’t know they were originally parts of other states.

The three tricky ones are Vermont, Maine, Florida. If you have never been there Vermont and New Hampshire are the same state. Maine just looks like it was always there, and same with Florida - what do you mean it was Spanish? Then English? Then Spanish again? When did it become American? Most Americans can't tell you.

The musical 1776 helps with this. I just hear the delegates in my head "New Hampshire says yea", "Massachusetts says yea", etc..

That helps with the ones that WERE the original 13, but it's less obvious which one were not.

Probably not much help to non Americans, but Americans who know their history should remember that Vermont was briefly an independent republic before statehood, and Maine was once part of Massachusetts' territory.
