How Much Do You Know about the American Revolution? - A Quiz

Issue 1 - Revolution Minute Series

Are you a fan of trivia? Do you enjoy challenging your knowledge about a specific topic? Find out how much you actually know about the American Revolution by taking our quiz below.                                                                                                                                             

I have always been fond of random facts and trivia; so much of a fan, that my family lovingly makes fun of me for frequently sharing random facts pertaining to whatever topic we are discussing. In regards to history, I find that the trivial, uncommon facts carry so much more weight in interest than the familiar facts. Because, although the major events are well-known for a reason, I find it's the moments in between the major events that make history relatable and much more engaging.

 So while compiling this first quiz, I attempted to highlight some of the smaller details alongside the main ones.  All of the information that this quiz is based off of is contained in Issue 1 of our Revolution Minute series. However, if you do not have access to Issue 1, I wrote a brief explanation for each answer that will appear after you complete the quiz. This way, you can have some take-away history knowledge that you may find yourself sharing the next time your family is discussing the American Revolution.

While my sister and I write each blog post and letter series for The Time Traveler's Tribune, we make every effort to pull together as many details as we can to present a complete picture of historical events to our readers. Because if they're anything like us, it won't be enough just to know the dates and victor of a battle. Our readers will grow to value the details in between the historical milestones.
