What Every American Should Know

When learning a foreign language, you indulge in the culture of the country and find out more about its history. As a student of an American program, I was glad to check how well I’m familiar with the most important things about the U.S. Visiting the website of the project called “What Every American Should Know”, I jotted down things I know, and spotted the areas which I have no clue about.

Here is the list of the things I’m familiar with:

1. September 11th
2. Declaration of Independence
3. Democracy
4. US Civil War
5. Holocaust
6. Gun violence in the U.S.
7. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks
8. Bill of Rights
9. The Great Depression
10. Gettysburg Address
11. Cold War
12. BLM
13. Pledge of Allegiance
14. The National Anthem
