One of the odd times where I get them all right but the 200 dollar question😂

[keving]

Nice to see Frederick Douglas included. I hear he's doing amazing things lately!

[jlee-lidn]

Reading her book “Leadership in Turbulent Times” currently. Excellent so far.

[chrisduitsman]

I got four out of five in this category. I'm from Illinois, too, so I figured wth, I'll give it a shot.

[DrAndyShick]

The last two were quite easy for their values. And the first one very difficult

[DarthMercanto]

5/5 for me. I really think the first for $200 was the most obscure

[loafy]

Man I find it hard to believe that more people know about McClellan than Douglas shocked his was the 800$ question

[kennygrify]

I'm sure at least lots of people got this category of Abraham Lincoln, he was a political icon in history!

[Rager_U]

How is the capital of the Confederacy a $1000 question, and picking out the proper Greek mathematician a $200 question? Discounting the McClellan question that none of them got, those should pretty much be reversed.

[benschulz]

he said, DKG take it! awesome.
I got 4 of 5 -- missed the first one. ???

the first clue should have been, he read the Bible and read Euclid, and read THIS 1500s playwright ...
IMO

[VodkaTheAntiAlcoholic]

I ran the category until the last one. I answered Montgomery. 😢

[CrystalClearWithBE]

I only got the last clue correct. The Confederate States of America formed in 1861 as an unrecognized breakaway republic of America with Montgomery, AL as it's first capital and they moved that title to Richmond, VA and kept it for long until it moved to Danville, VA which was a month before the CSA surrendered and dissolved.

[AprilLMiles-tfho]

I’m related to Abraham Lincoln on my dad’s side of the family.

[SteveNYy]

I'd be late on the buzzer because since you cant read along, you don't know when she is finished reading the question

[Lava]

Doris mispronounced "jubilant".

[briantravelman]

"Lincoln's original plan for freed slaves was deportation to THIS British colony."
WHAT IS BRITISH HONDURAS

"During his time in office, Lincoln suspended THIS Constitutional right."
WHAT IS DUE PROCCESS

"Urban legend says that during a dream, Lincoln allegedly predicted THIS."
WHAT IS HIS OWN DEATH

"Although Lincoln is synonymous with Illinois, he was actually born in THIS state."
WHAT IS KENTUCKY

"A 3.8 meter bust of Abe Lincoln, sits a top a pedestal outside of THIS Wyoming town."
WHAT IS LARAMIE

[mwlewis]

I weep at the state of our history education.

[Algaean]

Surprised they missed McClellan - he's not exactly an unknown figure.

[dmblum]

"Who is Sherman" when the answer was "Mclellan" is a terrible, terrible answer. It's like the opposite.

[michaelbayer]

I know they still spell the name of the party 'Republican' and still call itself the Party of Lincoln, but nothing else is the same.
