52 of 60, but I have questions about two I got wrong. One was because I didn't read all the answers. My bitch are the war of 1812. It was hardly a stalemate. We won. And it was mainly a navy war. I gotta say it, though, it's a really good, interesting test.

It was hardly a stalemate. We won.

Robert Remini makes an interesting -- and compelling -- argument that the British would not have returned New Orleans (or the rest of Louisiana or the Gulf Coast) had the British won at New Orleans.

According to this argument, the "status quo" provision of the Treaty of Ghent did not include the US retaining Louisiana because the purchase from Napoleon was illegal -- the Treaty of San Ildefonso by which Spain gave Louisiana to France expressly provided that Spain retained first right to repurchase it. There was even less right for the US to hold what is now the Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast (and Louisiana between Ponchatrain and the Mississippi border); the US seized the land illegally during the war with the bald assertion that the land was part of the Louisiana purchase).

I looked at the first few questions and knew right then I'd flunk it.

It was hardly a stalemate. We won.

I checked stalemate - just because from what we now know - wars are just a scam to profit the bankers.

Yes, they burned down the capitol, and then had to leave, at least their redcoats did, but what was really won or lost?

Not all that much that I can tell.

Not bad, that's about the Harvard and Yale seniors' average.

(i felt alot of the questions were worded poorly as were many of the answers. for example free market and capitalism is not the same thing)

I didn't do as well as I would have liked to. But that is a normal response to a test like this.
