    How Good Is Your History?

    The rules are the same as the 'how good is your geography?'

    I will kick it off by posting this question

    What is meant by the Manifest Destiny?

    Manifest Destiny was used in the 1800's to convey the thought that the US's Destiny was Manifest (by God I suppose) to encompass the stretch from Sea to Shining Sea.

    One neat thing about history is that every now and then new information comes to light that can change both the perception of why and how an event happened and even if happened or didn't happen.

    I'm not talking about revisionist history for the fun of it, I'm talking about facts that come to light due to newly discovered texts and forensic evidence. Just look at the number of beasts and fishes that turn up from time to time after having thought to be extinct.
