When Fox News’ Jesse Watters went out on the street to quiz people about America’s past wars, he received some curious — and patently comical — responses.

From confusion over why the U.S. commemorates Memorial Day to claims that Asia and Japan won the Civil War, a great many of Watters’ interview subjects clearly needed to brush up on their history.

“Who did America defeat in the Revolutionary War?” Watters asked, receiving a variety of incorrect responses, including the French, Russia and Germany.

And some respondents didn’t fare much better when it came to their Civil War knowledge, saying that they believed that Asia, the Soviet Union, France, England, Germany, Russia or Japan ended up winning that war.

“Oh God. I wish I studied my history,” one confused interview subject shot back.

It didn’t end there, though, as one woman proposed that the Cold War was all about “freeing the slaves.” Of course, some subjects were more than well-versed on American history.

Watch it all unfold below:

Memorial Day, which will be observed on Monday, remembers those who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military.

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows?tabs=azure-cli The Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a cross-platform command-line tool that can be installed locally on Windows computers. You can use the Azure CLI for Windows to connect to Azure and execute administrative commands on Azure resources. The Azure CLI for Windows can also be used from a browser through the Azure Cloud Shell or run from inside a Docker container. For Windows, the Azure CLI is installed via an MSI or a ZIP package, which gives you access to the CLI through the Windows Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell. When you perform an installation for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), packages are available for your Linux distribution. See the main install page for the list of supported package managers or how to install manually under WSL. The current version of the Azure CLI is 2.62.0. For information about the latest release, see the release notes. To find your installed version and see if you need to update, run az version.

  Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order! You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
