What revolution?

What revolution?

by digby

This is just sad:

According to a new poll by Marist, more than a quarter of Americans couldn’t correctly identify the country from which the United States declared its independence. While 74 percent correctly named Great Britain, 20 percent said they weren’t sure and six percent named other countries. In the South, 32 percent of respondents either responded incorrectly or weren’t sure.

Quick, check the American Revolution page on Wikipedia. By now somebody’s bound to have “fixed” it to show that the North declared its independence from the Confederacy. At Guadalcanal.
