The nation has begun to celebrate a milestone: the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. President Donald Trump recently promised one of the greatest celebrations and portrayed America’s founding and history as “one of the greatest tales in the history of mankind.”

Hillsdale College, a private, Christian college in the south-central part of the state, has partnered with the federal government to present the “Story of America” video series, posted on the White House’s website.

In that spirit, here’s a mini-quiz about all-things America. Be ready to impress your family and friends, long before July 4. For the uninitiated in Bridge Michigan quizzes, this is how we do it: score 100%, email a screenshot of your smarts to kkozlowski@bridgemi.com and one random winner will get some awesome Bridge swag.
