I typed Constitution for the ship. Didn't realize we had to add the USS to it.

I just took the quiz again. Not only do we have to add USS, but we have to add The as well. Also, you accept surnames only for Franklin, Jefferson, Monroe, etc., but not for John Adams and Amerigo Vespucci.

There were multiple John Adams that were President. Just typing Adams for an answer is wrong there.

You need to work on type-ins. Sometimes last names work, other times they don't. I tried "Constitution," "USS Constitution," and "Old Ironsides" but none of these answers were accepted.

Also I think you mean the Philadelphia tea party in 1773, even though it happened on the Delaware River... it was in Philadelphia. I tried Philadelphia. and Delaware is not a city it's a state.

No, I mean the Delaware Tea party 9 days after the Boston Tea party. It is extremely rare to find information on it because even though it was more than twice the size, it didn't have someone like Sam Adams there to publicize it.

And Jefferson was the founder of the Democratic party, not Van Buren. Though Wikipedia says the "modern Democratic party" arose in the 1830s with the election of Andrew Jackson. Who was also not Martin Van Buren.

No. You are wrong. Jefferson is closely related to the modern Republican party. Van Buren started the party, even though they are called Jacksonian Democrats to try and insure the continuation of slavery. He thought the best way to take slavery off the debate table was to overload the congress and the White House with not only southerners, but also southern minded Northerners. The modern Democratic party was created for the sole purpose of staying in power to control the slave debate and was the brainchild of none other than Martin Van Buren.
