	If the person's last name and the land mass are the same, I forced a first name and last name answer. I'm a jerk.

	Should probably be "King James I".

	There's also debate as to who America is actually named after.

	Thanks for the input. My first quiz. I'll try to edit as necessary.

	Maybe you should accept Richard Amerike as an alternate answer for question 1 since it's disputed which one it was named after (Could have been named after both of them for all we know).

	Moses' last name is actually spelled Cleaveland.

	dumb question: What state south of PA was named after GW?

	moliphino:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 21:04 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, there is no state south of Virginia named after George Washington. I kept trying King George II (Georgia) and Elizabeth I (Virginia).

	It doesn't say that there the state named after Washington is south of Virginia. The answer to #3 is British Columbia.

	British Columbia was only named after Christopher Columbus by a few degrees of separation. Robert Gray named his ship Columbia after Columbus. He then named the Columbia River after his ship. Queen Victoria then named British Columbia after the river.

	Washington should be acceptable.
