American History
I'm trying to learn a little about the country I live in so I don't appear as ignorant as some of the people I have encountered here. One guy once asked me in Chicago if they speak English in England, which is much worse than the first question whether we celebrate July 4th or Thanksgiving.
I'll start with the US Presidents song I used to remember the Presidents in order:
To the tune of "Ten Little Indians":
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor, Filmore, Pierce, Buchanan.
Lincoln, Johnson, Grant and Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge.
Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton, GW Bush is the President.
