Stopped taking your quiz after a few questions. The US was under the control of Great Britain, not the English (though I tried Great Britain, England, and the United Kingdom before I gave up). A few more type ins would be helpful - I answered Bill of Rights and the Constitution to your 5th question, but didn't get credit. The United Kingdom (and Canada) invaded the US in 1812. Not the English. And opinions vary on whether it was successful or not! Love to take your quiz again after some of these issues are cleared up.

perhaps redo this quizz using type-ins? trying to figure out how you want it worded when I clearly know the answer takes the fun out it. if it was just for you, like your note says, then perhaps just delete it. people less diplomatic than myself my give you heck about it.

also there is a switch in the first section of the quiz creation part that allows you to make it private or not. it's right near the switch that allows the yellow highlighting of the answer. you could go to your quiz and hit that switch and it would be private. for future reference.
