In February 2019, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation released the results of a survey of 41,000 Americans and their knowledge of basic American history facts.

The top five highest states after Vermont are: Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, and Virginia. The five lowest performing states are: Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and Louisiana at the bottom of the list.
Lincoln Park Strategies (https://lpstrategies.com) conducted the poll for the Foundation. It involved 41,000 interviews among adults nationwide. The margin of error for the total national is approximately ±1.0 percent. Individual state resultsposted a margin of error of approximately ±4.0 percent.

ABOUT THE WW FOUNDATION AMERICAN HISTORY INITIATIVE
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation has launched the WW American History Initiative, aninteractive digital platform intended to make American history more interesting, relevant, andappreciated by all learners.
Initially focused on high school students, the WW American History Initiative will wed traditional primary source materials and artifacts with games, videos, graphic novels, online discussion groups, and other interactive experiences.
As curator of this online platform, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation will develop a range of learning products for American history students, based on the needs and preferences of learners. It will also encourage the “crowdsourcing” of learning experiences, offering a range of contests and opportunities for learners, as they dig deeper on the historical topics of greatest interest to them, while demonstrating their learning in a range of ways. Students, K–12 teachers, college professors, policymakers, and average citizens will have the opportunity to show why they care about American history and share that passion and knowledge with others.
ABOUT THE WW FOUNDATION AMERICAN HISTORY INITIATIVE CONT.
The WW American History Initiative platform will also serve as an aggregator forinteresting and engaging history instruction, directing users to a wealth of high-qualitydigital resources currently available through museums, institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations government agencies, and individuals.
The Initiative is designed to supplement traditional classroom instruction, providing learners the opportunity dig deeper into the topics that interest them the most while embracing interactive, experiential learning opportunities often not available during a traditional school day. Access to the platform will be open to all learners, and will provide experiences of relevance and interest to those with virtually no knowledge or interest in history to those who consider themselves “experts.” The goal of the interactive platform is to inspire a love, interest, and appreciation for American history in all learners, while cultivating the curiosity and critical thinking skills necessary to serve as a productive member of American citizenry.
