Love the daily quiz. Whenever I go to Borders bookstore, I always check out the issues of your various magazines, and usually buy one. Sometimes that is the only reason to go to the bookstore.
By Stanley Peek on Jul 15, 2008 at 9:39 am
What's with the peek-a-boo answer? It ain't no quiz it's a third grade history lesson – Aristotelian style.
How's about the right answer gets left until after one has had a poke at it? The references for further reading/study are the 'smart' bit.
Let's get back to the QUIZ!
By Popsi on Jul 22, 2008 at 11:40 pm
I most definitely agree with Popsi. If at all possible, let's get back to the quiz.
By Dave Baruch on Jul 23, 2008 at 5:18 am

//address removed for your protection.
Your subscription will take 6-8 weeks to begin. (HistoryNet Staff)
By rugbug on Sep 28, 2008 at 11:59 am
I'm glad that it is back.
By Marilyn Cawthon on Oct 18, 2008 at 10:29 am
I love the daily quiz but liked the old style better. I made me look up the answer. This one is too much like the old "open book" tests. How can we teach our kids anything if all they have to do is click on the answer button. By the way, I am 75 years old and learned everything, which I admit isn't much, the old fashioned way.

did we not have the same question not too long ago?
the question looks very familiar.
By Dilbert on Feb 19, 2009 at 2:16 pm
There really seems to be no quiz! A list of answers to a question are
shown,BUT,there is no method for responding to the question.
By E.T. on Feb 20, 2009 at 8:12 pm

By Dilbert on May 1, 2009 at 10:16 am
Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of these United States, is buried on this date in Springfield, Illinois.
By Dilbert on May 4, 2009 at 10:55 pm
The Battle of the Wilderness begins on this date in 1864.
nothing will be gained by either side.
By Dilbert on May 5, 2009 at 10:22 am
I was so disappointed when I read the list of possible answers to today's trivia question. The nation of Colombia was spelled with a 'u' instead of an '0'. I did NOT expect to see that from your top level organization. Otherwise, I think the site, quiz, and everything you offer is top notch. I guess that's why the misspelling looked so bad. I know anyone can make an error, though. But so many make this error, and it's unfortunate this added to it.
By Mark Zotz on May 20, 2009 at 3:49 pm
May 20, 1861: Richmond, Virginia is named the new capital of the Confederate States of America
By Dilbert on May 20, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Senator Charles Sumner of Massachussetts is caned by Preston Brooks of South Carolina on this date in 1856.
By Dilbert on May 22, 2009 at 10:18 am
Preston Brooks WAS NOT a senator; he was a congressman.
surprising faux pas!
By Dilbert on May 22, 2009 at 10:25 am
to illustrate the wealth of the pre-war South, the 1860 census reveals that in that year the per capita income in the Southern states was $3,978; while in the North, it was $2,040.
By Dilbert on May 28, 2009 at 11:40 am
Sir;
Lets stay in U.S. Lets be aware of our history. We need to have info on our country.
By Gerry Seaquist on Jun 18, 2009 at 3:25 pm
The Army of Northern Virginia crosses the Potomac River and enters Maryland on their way to Pennsylvania. 24JUN1863
By Dilbert on Jun 24, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Sir:
It would be a good idea to include much more in the quizzes about the U.S.
Our people have been dumbed down on our own country lets make the quiz help develop knowledge of our Nation.
By Gerry Seaquist on Jun 26, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I am at the head of the list for this year and have not heard anything of the subscription to Aviation Histoy. I have recently moved, but my mail still goes to that address

once again remembering Gettysburg today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow and all those brave men who died there for the cause they believed in.
By Dilbert on Jul 1, 2009 at 11:20 pm
2 July 1863: On the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederate Vice President Alexander Hamilton Stephens goes to Washington City to discuss the prisoner of war issue with President Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln refuses to meet with Stephens.
By Dilbert on Jul 2, 2009 at 10:17 am
after the fall of Vicksburg to U.S. Grant on this date in 1863, it would be over 80 years before this city would celebrate Independence Day again.
By Cosmo on Jul 4, 2009 at 11:51 pm
if Zachary Taylor was born in 1784 and died in 1850, that would make him 65 or 66 years old at the time of his death. in "today in history for 7/9/09, it states that he died at age 55. is this a typo?
By Apollo on Jul 10, 2009 at 12:42 am
on 11JULY1864, Gral. Jubal Early and his Confederate forces reach the outskirts of Washington City; however, advances by the Southerners over the previous days are delayed allowing for more than 20,000 Union soldiers from various commands to arrive and defend the Federal capital. Gral. Early and his troops withdraw the following day.
By Apollo on Jul 11, 2009 at 10:30 pm
on 17JUL1861, the United States begins issuing demand notes, commonly called "greenbacks".
By Cosmo on Jul 17, 2009 at 10:08 am

By Dilbert on Jul 25, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the terrific job that you do in the daily quiz. I would likE to point out an error, however, in today's quiz. The date mentioned is 1000 years off. The correct answer was 1974 instead of "2974" as you noted in your answer.
Best regards,
Tommy West
By Tommy West on Jul 26, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO READ HOW, SO FAR, THE MAJORITY OF READERS ANSWERING THE LATEST POLL JUSTIFY THIS COUNTRY GOING TO WAR WITH MEXICO. DO YOU ALL STILL BELIEVE IN "MANIFEST DESTINY"? TERM WHICH IS JUST A EUPHEMISM FOR THE ILLEGITIMATE GRABBING OF LANDS MUCH AS WAS DONE TO ALL OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES THAT WERE HERE LONG BEFORE EUROPEANS ARRIVED AND CAUSED A HOLOCAUST WORSE THAN THE ONE ATTRIBUTED TO ADOLF H.
THE U.S. WANTED TEXAS, CALIFORNIA AND ALL OF THAT TERRITORY, SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET IT BUT TO GO "TO WAR" WITH A MUCH MILITARILY INFERIOR COUNTRY.
NO SIR! JUST AS THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION FOR MOST WARS, THERE WAS NONE FOR THE ONE IN QUESTION HERE.
By Dilbert on Aug 14, 2009 at 2:23 pm
IT'S SO EASY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION TO A PARTICULAR POLL BUT THEN NOT OFFER ANY TANGIBLE EXPLANATION FOR THEIR RESPONSE.
SOME OF YOU, WHO CONTINUE TO "JUSTIFY" THE "MEXICAN WAR" SHOULD SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS AS TO WHY YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SAY YES OR NO.
I THINK THIS IS WHY HISTORY NET PROVIDED US WITH THIS POST A COMMENT FORUM, SO THAT READERS COULD COMMENT.
SO LET'S HEAR FROM SOME OF YOU!
By Dilbert on Aug 16, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Dilbert is right. It was wrong to go to war against Mexico.
I'm not a U.S. citizen, so this is an objective opinion.
Dave Baruch.
By Dave Baruch on Aug 19, 2009 at 6:47 am
Thank you, Dave Baruch.
Whether your opinion is objective or subjective AT LEAST you have voiced your opinion.
As the days go by and no additional comments are submitted I doubt if any CITIZEN of this country is going to be intelligent enough to submit an opinion.
By Dilbert on Aug 19, 2009 at 3:03 pm
21AUG1862: Jefferson Davis issues orders to the Confederate Army that Union Major General David Hunter is to be considered a "felon to be executed if captured" FOR SUGGESTING that Southern blacks be armed to fight for the Union.
By Cosmo on Aug 21, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Ulysses S Grant is given command of federal forces in southern Illinois & southeastern Missouri on this date in 1861.
By BenitoCamelo on Aug 28, 2009 at 11:17 am
I must say today's Quiz is one of the dumbest ever. On such an important date (70th anniversary of WWII) the Quiz could have been much more enlightening.
By Dilbert on Sep 1, 2009 at 11:50 am
Aren't you ever satisfied, Dilbert?
By JAS on Sep 1, 2009 at 12:15 pm
JAS: you must be a teacher or professor or some such thing. The 3 times you've bothered to post something on this blog, it's been to call attention to another's blogger's comment. Why don't you comment on what one is really supposed to comment on? This is a site dedicated to History. Reserve your comments to this subject and stop calling attention to other blogger's comments.
By John Jones on Sep 4, 2009 at 2:39 pm
on this date, 7SEP1864, Gnl. William Tecumseh Sherman orders the evacuation of Atlanta.
By BenitoCamelo on Sep 7, 2009 at 6:23 pm
The quiz refers to many different periods of history, which
makes it so very interesting. I remember past lessons and
books that i have read. Thanks a lot.
Dave Baruch.
By Dave Baruch on Sep 8, 2009 at 5:09 am
the "Duke" of Normandy goes to war (and is killed as a result) because the "King" of France said he was fat. How ludicrous! Serves him right. I wonder which of these two countries is the bigger war mongerer, France or England? A day does not go by that one reads about either one of these countries being at war with each other or with some other one. What a shame!
By John Jones on Sep 9, 2009 at 12:48 pm
TODAY IN HISTORY: 1623 – the plundering of North America by the English begins. The Spaniards and Portuguese had already been doing it for a century.
By John Rodriguez on Sep 10, 2009 at 11:17 am
is it just my computer that has not an update to the winner's list since the week of 5/25 – 5/31? if not, may we have an overdue update?
By John Rodriguez on Sep 18, 2009 at 11:08 am
September 29, 1862:
Genl. William "Bull" Nelson gets into an altercation with fellow Union Genl. Jefferson C. Davis at the Galt House in Louisville, KY.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all my fellow veterans.
By Juan M Rodriguez on Nov 11, 2009 at 11:34 pm
For quite a few years I played the Daily Quiz: I would read the question and choose an answer. Then, I would hit the reveal button and see the answer.
Now, I have no way to choose an answer. There is no button next to the choices!!!! All I can do is reveal the answer.
What happened? How can I win if I can't take choose an answer?
Is this the way it is with everyone????????
By Pat F. on Nov 27, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I have the same problem with the quiz. It will not let me select an answer…just reveal it.
What is the point?
By James A. on Dec 16, 2009 at 5:08 am
Does anyone know of a good movie about the battle of New Orleans, besides the Buccaneer?
By John on Jan 8, 2010 at 12:48 pm
On this date in 1836 the siege of the Alamo began.
By John on Feb 23, 2010 at 12:26 pm
I have not visited here in about 3 months. I am disappointed to not see anyone post their comments since Feb.23, 2010. I enjoyed reading them.
