    Can we just give this test to everyone and remove citizenship from those who fail? Something is very wrong with our education system. Bring back civics and actual history classes please.

    Sam Adams was John’s cousin. He also represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence, making him a Founding Father as well.

    This is sad. Tbh, I had some difficulty with a couple of the questions, but the bigger concern is that to gain citizenship you only need to answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly?! How does that qualify anyone to be a citizen?! Why don't they teach us things that will help us in the future?! Not just some names.

    The Cold War was about a potential nuclear war. Russia had nukes and we did, too. Because we both had them, neither of us wanted to use them because the other would attack right back. I grew up in Huntsville which was #3 on the list if something were to happen. There were fallout shelters throughout the city.

    • @carsonw8223
      @carsonw8223 Před 3 měsíci +2

      No, the test key is correct. Nukes were weapons in the arsenal of the cold war, but the cold war was not ABOUT nukes. It was about the spread of communism. Starting during WWI in Russia, communists vowed to spread revolution throughout the world until the entire globe was united in communism. The other powers opposed this, and after WWII only two global powers remained: the USA and USSR. The USA assumed the role of containing communism everywhere around globe since no one else could do it. That's why the US has so many military bases around the world. What made the cold war cold and prevented the two powers from colliding directly was the threat of mutually assured destruction by nukes. But what was being fought over was ideology.

    Yo! This test for US citizenship has declined BIG TIME ~ when I lived in TX in the late 90's , worked w/a gal that showed me the test: HUGE pamphlet w/50 questions on it.
    I couldn't answer even 10 correct ~ never was a history buff, just born in the USA... PLUS she told me she had to pay over 1 grand on top of passing the test to become a USA citizen.
    Not sure what's going on these days...

    Let me just say, you guys are lucky, you were born in the US of A 🤣🤣
    I took the citizenship 32 years after immigrating as a kid, passed it with no problem.
