The vast majority of Americans will be celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, but how many of them actually know what they’re celebrating?
If this video is anything to go by, very few. They know it’s Independence Day, but they know little beyond that. Including which country the United States won independence from, and when this all took place.
As a Brit, I probably know more about the 4th of July than the people in the video. I guess it helps that England was the other major player in all of this.
Did these people never attend school? Or is the American education system so messed up that kids aren’t even taught about the history of their own country? Madness.
