Since I teach Texas history this year I thought I'd give you a sample of questions I give my students on tests. Please, no looking up answers. I still need to mail out the figures from my last give-away ( Biggs figures) but life has calmed down and I will do it soon. I'll mail the prize for this give away along with the Biggs figures by Tuesday of next week. The prize for this quiz is--------- A mego superman figure in excellent shape. Yes, you heard right, an actual mego figure. In order to win, you need to answer the questions AND tell me the date my wife was born excluding the year. Ok, here goes
1. Who was the first president of Texas?
2. What was the Alamo before it became a fort?
3. Where was oil first discovered and drilled for in Texas?
4. List 2 cities in the coastal plains region of Texas?
5. Name two presidents of the U.S. who claimed Texas as their home.
6. What U.S. soldier was the most decorated soldier ever (he fought in world war two)?
7. What six flags have flown over Texas soil?
8. What was James Bowie famous for besides fighting at the Alamo?
9. What confederate commanding general, killed at Shiloh, was from Texas?
10.True or false, Texas can divide into five states if the citizens and congress of Texas ratify legislation to do so.
Answer as much as you want. I'll also ship Supes overseas. Good luck.
