**Note: this is not Jeopardy. This is BuzzFeed. And within that context, this is a quiz composed of US History questions from the Jeopardy archives. So it’s Jeopardy adjacent, inspired, and reverential, but that's it!

Now that we are situated, here’s the deal: I’ve gathered 25 questions, and they’re organized by century (5 from the 1600s, 5 from the 1700s, and so on through the 2000s).

Why 5? Why 25? I don’t know. I was looking for some balance and logical flow to the questions. So we’re going chronologically with numbers I find vaguely pleasing…like 5…and 25.

So, let's see how much US history you remember from school...

Or from movies, or books, or HOWEVER IT IS YOU LEARNED US HISTORY.

I'm excited to see how you do!

So, how did you do?! Which era of American history do you find most interesting? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for taking this quiz! I really enjoyed putting it together; it brought me back to school (in a good way!).
