Grab your overalls and a John Deere hat and come take this quiz. Bless your heart, honey, surely you can do it... can't you? Or ain't you got no sense? How much southern slang do you actually know?

After all, those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it -- at least, that's how the saying goes. Ever since man has done anything, there has been someone nearby going "huh, maybe I should write this down" (well, after we invented writing, of course, which is its own historical subject). We are fascinated by history, though it must be said that caveats apply -- after all, history IS told by the victor. We do not even necessarily know if the things we think are true about history even are -- which, let's be honest, is half the fun of it. Sure, we can all (or we should be able to) agree on a few historical truths, like that it wasn't cool that it used to be legal to own people and that the Third Reich was very bad, but on other subjects, we need to cast a more critical eye. How about you? Will your history knowledge doom you, or make you a genius among your friends and family? You'll probably fail -- most people do, because they aren't nearly as smart as they think they are. But hey, give it a shot, if you think you can prove us wrong. Take our history quiz and find out if you're a PhD or someone who got held back a double digit number of times in the 4th grade!
