Well, hey man, we need to get everyone invested, like soon.

Of the teens surveyed, 22 percent didn't know the answer was England. Fourteen percent thought it was France, AP said. The foundation surveyed 1,020 people ages 12 to 17 from May 31 to June 5 by telephone. Nearly all of those polled knew that Washington, D.C., was the U.S. capital and George W. Bush is president, AP said. The study found that one in 10 didn't know George Washington was the first president; 17 percent didn't know there were 13 original colonies; 15 percent didn't know the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776; and 25 percent didn't know who fought in the Civil War, AP reported.
