I get Cleveland as a major midwestern city, but I'd argue that Lincoln also is a pretty major midwestern city. I'd possibly consider a change to that one.

Agreed. Tried Lincoln, Madison, and Jefferson City before realizing Ohio is technically at the very edge of the midwest. Maybe tighter phrasing like "major city in Ohio" or "major city on Lake Erie"

Not sure about Jefferson, but Madison should definitely work for that question. Nearly a million people in the metro area.

Wow. Things were so much less polarized back then.

Changed to "every state except Minnesota".

How cute, you think the guy who committed federal crimes in order to get re-elected meant it was less polarized.

The fact that Chester A. Arthur is at 42% says something about the early quiz-takers.

If you have enough time, it's easy to guess. There are only 40 possible answers, and if you assume that no answer appears twice on the quiz, it narrows the choices even further.

I didn’t get it, but I enjoyed reading the question. Quite a sentence.

I'm not arguing the answer should be changed, but while Thomas Jefferson was president when the Louisiana Purchase was made, he didn't actually make the purchase. He sent James Monroe and another representative to France to purchase New Orleans, and a shocked Monroe agreed to purchase the entire Louisiana Territory (without authorization from Jefferson) when it was offered. Also, James Madison helped persuade congress to ratify the purchase.

Celebrating General Harrison as the "Hero of Tippecanoe" is not completely unlike calling General Reginald Dyer the "Hero of Amritsar"

Tecumseh, now there was a hero...
