Please use a book that uses actual research. Native American/Canadian women were NOT used as beasts of burden. This myth is perpetuated continuously by academics who base this on diaries that were inaccurate to start with (Based on european perceptions that women should be dainty flowers) and that were further sensationalized by the publishers to sell more copies to “shock the whities” back in Europe.

Well, I got through the whole thing. Kind of a let down. When are you going to add more topics? I could have used fewer Mongol questions.

For the question about the first domesticated livestock, my answer was counted wrong – saying the answer is something else. But the explanation is consistant with my answer. Upon looking it up online to double-check…I found I was in fact correct.

I found an error with one of the questions. The questions is, “Virginiaâ€™s Arlington National Cemetary is located on his former estate:”. Robert E. Lee is what the quiz accepts as the correct answer, although George Washington, another answer option, would also be correct. The house was owned and constructed by President Washington’s adopted Grandson George Washington Parke Custis as a living memorial to President Washington. He lived there with his wife until they died in 1953 and 1957. The house was then passed on to their only child Mary Anna Randolph Custis and her husband (and distant cousin) Robert E. Lee.

I can’t even get to the questions. It just keeps playing the intro video over and over when I click “start game.”

I’m having the same problem as Jess. However, I found that by clicking the refresh button, I could advance.
I second a mute button!

I am seeing the intro video, then a button that says “play again.” If I click on that or the “start game” button, it just plays the video again.

How do you get to the questions?

I kept getting the same question over and over again, about Benjamin Franklin being a French ambassador. Am I doing something wrong?
