Three Real and One Fake - U.S. History

I don't think so. The course of history is different because the Border States didn't secede. In the words of Lincoln: "I *hope* to have God on my side, but I *must* have Kentucky."

It's not so cut-and-dried as some would make it for those in the border states. I get so tired of people condemning the South because they had slaves while conveniently forgetting all the northern states also had slavery except Massachusetts. In Brooklyn nearly a third of the residents were African-American slaves in the 1820 census, and even after New York finalized emancipation in 1827 some continued to hold their slaves into the 1840s, less than twenty years before the Civil War. There were also groups of Copperheads in northern states who were against fighting the south. Missouri was a slave state but two of my direct ancestors from here fought for the Union Army. There were many skirmishes in the border states and companies from both armies would march through the countryside pillaging and plundering all they could get, leaving the people to starve. It didn't much matter to those people whether it was the Union or Confederate troops which had taken all their food and livestock.

Yeah, exactly why I don't think this is the best question. Also, the flag of the CSA had 13 stars with one of them representing Kentucky. I was able to get the right answer through clear elimination of the other choices but I suggest changing it to a more obvious answer like Delaware or Maryland for those who aren't history nerds.

The Honeymooners and Leave It to Beaver are very famous (although I imagine they are fading with time). Duck Soup is the most famous Marx Brothers film (again, very famous, but fading with time). That movie has the original "mirror gag" in which a character thinks he is looking in the mirror, but it's really someone dressed up as him, mimicking his movements. Animation uses it a lot, but to see two flesh-and-blood men pull it off is pretty impressive.

So does Mozart count as part of history?

Wait why do you hope English people got it right? I've never heard of half of this!

Not really. Situation comedy means that a recurring cast of characters encounter new comedic situations. The humour lands particularly well because you get to know the characters and how they react. Chaplin’s Tramp was maybe in a sitcom series of movies, but it usually refers to tv
