Too many in America believe the U.S. won its independence from Mexico.

Fuck the education/income disparity excuse. The only reason some doesn't know is because they stupidly refuse 'know'.

NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll*
Don’t Know Much About History…
For Immediate Release: Monday, July 3, 2017

[Only] 77% of residents nationally correctly cite Great Britain as the country from which the United States declared its independence, nearly one in four, 23%, either mention another country, 8%, or are unsure, 15%. These findings have changed little from when this question was last reported in 2011. Education and income make a difference. Nearly nine in ten Americans with a college education or income above $50,000 are able to identify Great Britain as the country from which the United States won its liberty. Of note, white Americans, 84%, are also more likely than Latino residents, 70%, or African Americans, 53%, to correctly identify Great Britain. Although race is a factor, its importance is exaggerated by differences in education and income among ethnic groups. Interestingly, age makes little difference.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHhhhhhhha!!!

With seeing how STUPID people coming out of schools seem to be, i was surprised the #s were so high on those who COULD correctly ID who we got independence from..

sounds about right... its always the minority that doesn't know history.

the numbers of americans knowing history is a bit high. so it went up.

The Reconquista was nearly complete until President Trump threw a monkey wrench in it.

People discuss "school" like "schools" educate.

"Schools" don't educate.

IMO polls like this merely deepen and reinforce the division in this country by providing the appearance that minorities and poor people are dumb. Carefully examine the shit to which they are exposed during the 6-7 hours they are "in the building."

I should waited the full hour so you couldn't change your post. Like GEICO, it's what you do.

Coprophiliac.

Texas won it's independence from Mexico.

Then the United States picked a war with Mexico and got what is now the South Western States.

Probably got the info off the net.
