Probably because of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is an integral part of our history.It is interesting that half the questions I got wrong were purely subjective ones based on state funding and US economics. Why were Christianity and wealth mentioned in a civics exam - are these something intrinsically involved in US politics?
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was an English settlement on the east coast of North America in the 17th century, in New England, centered around the present-day cities of Salem and Boston. The territory administered by the colony included much of present-day central New England, including portions of the U.S. states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Territory claimed but never administered by the colonial government extended as far west as the Pacific Ocean.
The colony was founded by the owners of the Massachusetts Bay Company, which included investors in the failed Dorchester Company, which had in 1624 established a short-lived settlement on Cape Ann. The second attempt, begun in 1628, was successful, with more than 10,000 people migrating to New England in the 1630s. The population was strongly Puritan, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders, who were strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. Although its governors were elected, the elections were limited to freemen who had been examined for their religious views and formally admitted. As a consequence, the colonial leadership exhibited intolerance to other religious views, including Anglican, Quaker, and Baptist theologies.
Oh, I know about the Pilgrim Fathers - I had an American teacher in primary school.
It's just curious that religion (or lack thereof) is a far more prevalent force in the US than in the UK and we're supposed to be the ones with the state religion!
ahaha got like the last one wrong so stupidly. I was like "it's the last or second to last question, this is boring and easy, whatever." Didn't even read all the multiple choice responses. And I actually thought "Well, this is wrong because it should really say 'deficit' instead of debt, but several of these questions were worded stupidly or have wrong or controversial answers so they probably just made a mistake"
