Quiz: Have You Been Fooled By History? Take This Quiz To Find Out Which Famous Historical Myths Are Completely False

There are some historical figures that are just purely American. Take George Washington, for example. The man was a war hero, founding father, and the very first United States President. 

So when we learned about him in American History class, we assumed it was all truthful, right? Teachers can't lie! Well, you'll be surprised to hear that some of the things you learned about Washington—as well as other historic people and events—might be more myth than fact! (For example: It would have been very inadvisable for ol' George to be standing valiantly on a small, unstable rowboat surrounded by the freezing waters of the Delaware River.)

Prove you did your research, history buffs, and try to ace this test that will challenge you to identify some of the most common misconceptions about famous historical moments. Are these historical fun facts true—or are the details we all learned in school actually false? Let us know if you've been fooled!
