How much people know about U.S History...

Ean and I ask people about history

[Alphabunsquad]

Thank you for not editing this to make people look like idiots! Finally a video where people know a decent percent of the answers.

[WadeAllen]

So If you'd like me to make any more videos, because I've been thinking about doing so, please reply to this comment telling me what type of video you'd like to see. If it's more like this one, then say the topic that I should be asking people about.

It's nice to see a video like this that doesn't edit out all the correct answers, and even shows some people answering nearly all the questions correctly (the guy in the green shirt). Restores some faith in humanity.

thanks for leaving the ones they got right in! the vid was more enjoyable knowing that it was legit and not edited for effect.

I gotta admit, I didn't know when Wisconsin became a state. That's a harder question though

[kurthall]

"Who did we fight in the War of 1812?" 

"Is there a name to this war?"

What are the chances that someone who shouts "I know this! I know this!" actually knows it?

[rhuttner]

The only one I didn't get was the Wisconsin question.

[jeeguru]

Our biggest problem is that we are more interested in people who are ignorant than those who are not.

[GEORGETHOMAS]

Finally, one where pretty much all the questions are answered correctly!

[butterflyeffect]

Ask teachers about U.S History!!!! I would love to see their level of knowledge!!!!

[thornbird]

These are some of my favourite videos on YouTube, not that I take delight in other peoples lack of knowledge for their own countries history but it is quite astonishing in a country that has an above standard education system how many Americans don’t know the basics 🤣

[tommymeyer]

"Who did we fight in the War of 1812?"
"Uhhh does this war have a name?"

Fuck's sake XD

[antarcticorb]

That's a very young Steve McQueen asking the questions.

[haff]

Good videos. Only suggest to improve the audio (mic), state the questions clearly and every time you approach new people and/or type the question to know the subject matter.

[shaunw]

I love this type of video. It pleases me to know that our cousins across the pond can laugh at themselves too. My Son tells me I "bum out america" and that's why i usually know most of the answers but these questions WERE quite tough :-)

[dualityfirm]

a fun fact for the stars of this and it's producers.. people came out here to California to make movies because they did not want to go the proper route by petitioning the blanket patent on the motion picture!! It was held in Washington D.C. presumably..

[arbonac]

@4:10, Alaska in on the North American continent. The correct answer to the question is 49.

[reneaguirre]

The United States doesn't have an official language ....
