Video: Young Americans Don’t Know Why US Celebrates Fourth of July

beach14

Young American beachgoers couldn’t answer basic questions about the nation’s founding or why the Fourth of July exists in a recent Jesse Watters Primetime segment.

Asked why the United States celebrates July 4th, one respondent replied, “Um, uh, I honestly couldn’t answer that.”

Another person replied that the United States was turning 58-years-old this year – despite the nation’s semiquincentennial fast approaching.

When asked which nation America declared independence from, one young man incredibly answered, “Mozambique, Africa.”

More perplexing incorrect responses were given to a question asking the name of the war fought to secure American independence, with some people responding the “French and Indian War,” and “World War II.”

Respondents were also asked the name of the general that led American forces to victory during the revolutionary war, with one person replying, “General Lee,” and another answering “Hitler.”

The question, “Who signed the Declaration of Independence?” also evoked wild answers, with one beachgoer saying, “William Shakespeare,” while others answered, “Abraham Lincoln,” “George Bush,” and even, “John Wick.”

Overall, only one female beachgoer was able to answer all the questions correctly, leaving serious concerns about the nation’s education system, as noted by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
