yes, correct--I didn't realize it was so long between the declaration of independence and the first president. I knew the revolution didn't end until 1783, but I didn't realize the president wasn't elected until 5 years later. I wonder if you asked all graduating high school seniors that question how many would get it right? On a related note I still think that if I took a whole year of 12th grade trigonometry right now 20 years out of high school I would be lucky to get a B. It's kind of scary when you realize you went through 12 years of school, got into college and either didn't learn anything or can't remember anything you learned. If I went through 4 years of high school again taking the same classes I took then I don't know if I would remember having learned it before or if I would do any better than I did originally. Pretty sad.
