Who can tell the name of the Treaty that ended the Revolutionary war for the USA?

[Robert W]

This question has to be a mystery to most American. It was to me until this very day.
We all know that when George Washington defeated the British, a treaty was signed.

What was the name of the place it was signed?

I won't make you look it up. I will not keep you guessing.

Continental Congress ratifies the Treaty of Paris, ending the American Revolution​

I am not insulting any here. But be honest. Did you know that or had you looked it up?

I thought it was the Pelosi Accord ?

You sure you're right there?

 

[Rambunctious]

The treaty was signed in Paris and most treaties are named for the place where they were signed...

Why is this fact, or the separate ability to recall this fact useful? What would someone lose or miss in life if he took a pause and looked it up?

Damn, I figured everyone knew that! That was a test question back in the day.

Is American History taught in US schools anymore?

Good thing I'm not "educated".

The alternative is we look stupid when others discuss our own history.

When I was in high school, for me US History just did not interest me. I managed to be as a student virtually as if I had not gone to class or read books on subjects I was not interested in. It was a lousy time for my school and me to be like that then. I graduated high school in 1956 so more recent history for us now, then was still in the future.

A couple of answers. First, I have been an American for a long time now. Never, in any conversation I have had, has that piece of trivia been a necessary component. Next, once one has the entire expanse of human knowledge in his hands, why does he need personal recall of something he can look up?

I would not reach the point it is necessary. If one is not interested in history, even if he can look it up, chances he won't do that.
