LiuTube goes to the nation's capital--Washington, DC--to ask
Americans about the nation's independence and test our
American Revolutionary War history knowledge. What did
Thomas Paine write that influenced
American opinions prior to the
Revolution? Which founding father signed really big on the
Declaration of Independence?
LiuTube showed once again that Americans were quite knowledgeable and smart, unlike what media, especially late-night-tv and other YouTubers, like to show. What do you think? Are Americans dumb? Are we exceptional? Is
Jimmy Fallon the real dumb one?
