Trivia Game # 56 - Week 2



Here are the questions for Week 2 of Game # 56:


1. President Buchanan sent it to Paraguay. President Lincoln sent it to Ft. Sumter.
What was it? (A singular, not a collective, thing.)


2. Post-war, this general married the sister of a famous Union colonel, and, as a state Attorney General, prosecuted an infamous corrupt politician. Name the general.


3. Two different cemeteries in the U.S. have a Confederate monument, featuring a reclining lion, modeled on a monument in a European city. A U.S. automobile manufacturer offers a model of car with the same name as that European city. Where are the two cemeteries located?


4. What artillery commander and USMA commandant of cadets has something (the only thing, I’m sure) in common with a current candidate for national office?


5. Monuments to two Union generals killed in a September 1862 battle were erected on land donated by a former member of Mosby’s rangers. Name the two generals.



Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, November 8. Good Luck! AND if you haven't already,
VOTE on November 4!
