    Liberia wasn't even colonized like other lands in Africa because most of the nations recognized it as a colony of USA and left it alone.

    19 out of 35. Mostly messed up on the questions about exact dates and amount of soldiers and what have you. As well as two that I knew the answer to but doubted myself.

    I'm impressed that this site dared to mention that Lincoln intended to move African Americans to another country.

    You mean the "Great" President Lincoln would have done such a thing? If this surprises you, I'm guessing you may not have heard of the Corwin Amendment? If you have, kudos, not many people seem to have heard of the amendment that would have made it impossible to abolish "domestic institutions of the state"....all in the name of a last ditch effort to reunite his great Union prior to the bombardment of Ft. Sumter. States actually ratified this amendment also, like Maryland. And it was such a black eye on Maryland that 152 years after it was ratified, the state legislature moved to rescind the ratification.

    I had heard there was an "original 13th ammendment" that would've made it impossible to abolish slavery that was proposed under Lincoln but I never knew the name of it

    Oh, it wasn't just proposed under Lincoln. He had his share to do with it also.

    35/35. A couple made me have to pause and think but I'm glad I watch so many documentaries.
