That book is a collection of funny things college students wrote on exams and papers, including a rundown of the things you can expect the average college student to know which I will quote here.
1. At some point in the distant past The US fought a war of independence against a major European or Asian power. An extraordinary tea party was a factor.
2. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy and Richard Nixon served as presidents of the US....
3. The US still suffers from the horrors of its slaveholding past, whenever that was. The Civil War, which took place sometime between 1750 and 1930, was mixed up with this.
4. Adolf Hitler (a foreigner of some kind) was a very bad man.
5. There was at least one World War, but absolutely not more than three.
