Great quiz! 9/10. Fun. Even though when I answered Vermont and "Maryland" instead of "Rhode Island," I knew I should have picked Rhode Island. Oh, well. It WAS fun!

9/10 I picked Lake Michigan instead of Lake Superior. But I knew it was either Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, or Lake Huron. But I wasn't sure which one. I knew Lake Erie was to small though.

God quiz and very informative.

Nice quiz, but I think you should know that the term 'Sioux' is derogatory and those in that tribe call themselves the Dakota.

I am not American but at least I passed half score 5/10 because I loved maps when I was younger. Great quiz!

7/10 #10 made me realize I know less about the Northeastern states than I thought. I always figured that whole area was considered New England. I'm going to blame my teachers for not teaching me enough about that crazy Yankee land.

I believe Minneapolis also comes from a Greek word that means "Little City." Nice quiz!
