History quiz
In an effort to boost comments and blogger participation. I have come up with a little quiz for all of you. As you know, I am a history major and what better to quiz you on the very things I have been learning!! Hopefully some of them aren't too hard, and you can impress everyone with your knowledge of things that don't really affect us now.
1) Who was the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States?
2) Who was considered the 'It' girl of the movies in the 1920s?
3) Who was president when the Depression stuck?
4) The 1800 election was between which two main candidates?
5) Who shot Alexander Hamilton? (think milk commercial)
6) Who were the main two authors of the Jazz age (according to my teacher, I can't be sued if this is not in accordance to opinions)?
7) How many Americans were killed in the influenza epidemic that struck in 1918?
8) Which famous first lady attended Vassar college?
9) What was the Great Migration of the 1920s?
10) What disease did F.D.R. have that the media tried to hide?
Bonus: Explain the difference between old immigration and new immigration.

I can't see the questions anymore! Ok...I know that FDR has polio (at least I think I know that); I know that Burr shot Hamilton (maybe); I think that Coolidge was prez at the start of Depression (less than maybe); Who went to Vassar? Clinton? I think about 600,000 died of influenza...The great migration was due to industrialization in the north, so a huge labor force moved north...was Madison the first secretary of treasury? Jazz age writers....hmmmm...Fitzgerald and Hemingway? Could be a number of writers...
That's all the questions I can remember without looking. I probably need a history tutor...but instead, I will go to wikipedia and enter these answers so that they become facts!
