Just in time for the July 4th weekend, the Marist Poll has asked Americans in which year the United States declared its independence. And, the result is many Americans need to brush up on their American history.
Only 58% of residents know that the United States declared its independence in 1776. 26% are unsure, and 16% mentioned another date.
There are age differences on this question. Younger Americans are the least likely to know the correct answer. Only 31% of adults younger than 30 say that 1776 is the year in which the United States broke away from Great Britain. 59% of residents between 30 and 44 report the same. Americans 45 to 59 — 75% — are the age group most likely to have the correct answer. Among those 60 and older, 60% report that 1776 is the year in which the United States declared its independence.

Well hell, Marist isn't phrasing the poll question correctly. Because any good Progressive knows the truth about this date in Amerikan history!:
July 4, 1776 is the day America's Christian Colonial homegrown terrorists declared independence from their benevolent British betters by adopting the hate filled, violence laden rhetoric contained in the manifesto known as "The Declaration of Independence."
It is really sad how few people know about early American history. I'm aiming to write the whole month of July on the American Revolution...I'm sure I'll lose some followers but at least I am using my "voice" to share my beliefs and opinions about America. Oh, and a lot of facts too.
