	maxkirk1 made a great U.S. History A-Z quiz, which I enjoyed a lot. I am not trying to steal his idea - I just feel that many more fun quizzes could be made like his. Here is the link to his: http://www.sporcle.com/games/maxkirk1/us_hist_a_to_z

	Great quiz-- could not remember J or Z, but having a history degree, this brought back a lot of things I had not thought of in awhile

	Perhaps you could include Yellow Press as an alternative? I learned it as such in History class.

	I added Zimmermann Note and Yellow Press. Thanks for the suggestions.

	@ myb555 Your color comment has been noted. I have never changed the color on quizzes so let me know if you like or dislike the colors I chose. Thanks!

	Even though this is an 'A-Z' quiz, I think you should put the full names. For example, 'Susan B. Anthony' and not just 'Anthony.' Also, the clue for 'Q' would be better worded if it said something like: 'The 6th presidents middle name.'

	@ quizzler2 I agree with you on the full names and have added them. As for the "Q" clue, I think it is too straight forward and easy to word it as "What is the 6th president's middle name". I guess I want it to be a little more challenging. Thanks for the input though.

	The KKK werent just an anti-black group, they were against pretty much every foreigner with a different skin color.

	I'm all for accuracy, but if you're going to give credit for "Douglas" with 1 s, then you should give credit for "Zimmerman" with 1 n. Especially since I knew Douglass had 2 s's, but didn't know Zimmermann had 2 n's. :)

	@ weloveum Your request seems fair enough so I now accept Zimmermann with one "n".
