A gf and I just had a stellar dinner...BUT...

3% of our convo was a discussion of what our plans are for the July 4th weekend...

1% of the convo was her going on her "I hate Obama" rant which then got her to get into...

96% of our (one sided) conversation for the night: Her bombarding me with EVERY fact of the founding of the United States of America (from the beginning to present time).

I pride myself on being a SMART chick, but as I sat there, I couldnt help but feel a little stupid bc I dont remember half of what she does...

...so, in the spirit of Independence Day being around the corner, I want to know:

(1) How much U.S. History do you remember from your studies?
(2) When you think "U.S. History/American History" what are the first few things that come to mind?
(3) As an American (or not) do you even care about the who's / what's / when's / where's / why's / or how's of how this country came to be?!

I know this isnt a "provacative" discussion...Im just curious about my fellow GFYers...

My Answers:
(1) Clearly not as much as my friend.
(2) In NO particular order: Constitution, Jamestown/Virginia Colony/John Smith, 13 original colonies, Boston Tea Party, Taxes, Wars, Our Founding Fathers, Revolution, 1776
(3) I suppose I care, but I am more interested in the future.
