Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This US president had the sad but not rare enough duty to succeed an assassinated president. Who was this president who was impeached (but not convicted)?

Answer: Andrew Johnson

Andrew Johnson (1865-1869) succeeded Abraham Lincoln as the 17th U.S. President. Not only was he a Democrat (even as President Lincoln was a Republican), this former vice president and president was from the state of Tennessee, a state that had seceded from the Union.
2. Only the third US president to win the Nobel peace prize, this president did NOT win it for the Camp David Accords but for his peace efforts after leaving the presidency. Who is this "Man from Plains", closely associated with Habitat for Humanity?

Answer: Jimmy Carter

As of 2012, Jimmy Carter enjoys the longest period of post-presidential life in history. He has been very busy with a post-president life that includes going to negotiate with North Korea in 1994, negotiating the Nairobi agreement in 1999, helping with the Geneva Accords in 2002, winning the Nobel prize in 2002, and many other activities around the world.
3. This "J" president did not actually win the most electoral votes or popular votes in the 1824 election. Who was this US president associated with the "corrupt bargain?"

Answer: John Quincy Adams

It is true that John Quincy Adams (son of John Adams) did not win the electoral or popular vote in 1824, yet won the presidency. As part of the "Era of Good Feelings," there was technically only one political party (Democratic-Republican) but four candidates. Since no one candidate won an electoral majority, the election went to the House of Representatives which chose Adams as the next president.

It was in the negotiations that Adams was accused of making a "corrupt bargain" with Henry Clay (one of the four presidential candidates and Speaker of the House) by promising Henry Clay the job of Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State had been a good job by which to become president since four of the previous six presidents had once held that position.

The other two previous presidents who were not Secretary of State, Washington and John Adams, actually held the higher positions of President/Vice President.
4. This was a "J" president who succeeded another "J" due to an assassination. Who was this US president known for his "Great Society"?

Answer: Lyndon B. Johnson

Like Andrew Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson would replace an assassinated president, John F. Kennedy. Lyndon B. Johnson would only serve one full term, choosing not to run for re-election. Both Johnsons were southerners (Tennessee and Texas).
5. This US president was a founding father, a Secretary of State and War, and one of the Virginian presidents. Who is this president whose name is associated with the idea that Europe should not further colonize the Americas?

Answer: James Monroe

James Monroe was the fifth U.S. President but served many roles before his presidency including Secretary of State, Secretary of War, governor of Virginia and U.S. Senator. His speech of 1823, later called the Monroe Doctrine, advocated that Europe should not further involve itself in the Americas.
6. This "J" president won the election of 1800 and oversaw the peaceful transfer of power and control from the Federalist party to the Democratic-Republican party. Who is this US president most associated as the principal writer of the Declaration of Independence?

Answer: Thomas Jefferson

Elected in the "Revolution of 1800," Thomas Jefferson served two terms as president. This founding father played a huge role in early American history, including the purchase of the Louisiana purchase. Recently he has been most associated with Sally Hemings, a slave, as father of some or all her children.

However, Jefferson viewed his importance differently. Jefferson wrote his own epitaph: HERE WAS BURIED THOMAS JEFFERSON, AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE OF THE STATUTE OF VIRGINIA FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
7. This "J" president is the first of a long line of Democratic presidents. Who is this US president often associated with the Indian Removal Act, fighting personal duels, fighting with Indians, and fighting personal wars (including the Bank War)?

Answer: Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson is a fascinating president who supported the idea of the independent man and democracy, yet owned slaves and was responsible for the mass removal of Native Americans from the East. Although not a founding father, Andrew Jackson (and Jacksonian Democracy) would have a major influence on U.S. history.
8. This "J" president was the youngest person elected president but did not serve a full term. Who is this US president, associated with sending a man to the moon?

Answer: John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy would be elected in 1960 and would be assassinated on November 22nd 1963. The youngest president was actually Theodore Roosevelt, but he was not elected (in his first term) but instead succeeded McKinley upon his assassination. Kennedy's short term is most associated with the Bay of Pigs, the Berlin Wall, and the Cuban Missile crisis. Domestically his presidency is probably most remembered for his tax cuts, his attempts to improve civil rights, and, of course, his support of sending a man to the moon.
9. This "J" president was in charge during the second time the U.S. went to war with the British Empire. Who is this US founding father who was one of the authors of the "Federalists Papers" and often called "the Father of the Constitution?"

Answer: James Madison

Another founding father and another Virginian, James Madison was the 4th U.S. President. He served in many positions including the House of Representative. There were many involved in the writing of the Constitution, but his role in introducing what would be the first 10 amendments to the Constitution was vital.
10. This "J" president was also the first vice president. Who was this "Founding Father" who only served one term, after succeeding America's first president?

Answer: John Adams

John Adams had the tough task of following George Washington. As the last Federalist president, he had the tough task of keeping the country together even as the U.S. almost fought a war with France. Despite his split with Jefferson over politics, eventually the two great presidents would be friends again. Both would die on the same day (Adams would reportedly say "Thomas Jefferson still survives" even though Jefferson actually had died earlier in the day.) on July 4, 1826.
