Answer: Connecticut

The state song for Illinois is, "Illinois"; the state song for New York is, "I Love New York"; the song to represent the state of Alaska is, "Alaska's Flag"; finally, the state song, however, for Connecticut is, "Yankee Doodle Dandy".

2. Who was the youngest President of the United States in the twentieth century?

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt became president at the age of 42. John F. Kennedy was 43 when he was intiated to the Presidency. Constitutionally, the minimum age to become President of the United States is 35 years old.

3. The phrase "in the black" means what?

Answer: making a profit

All of these are phrases that have a double meaning. 'Out of the blue', for example, means "unexpectedly". To 'Take the bull by the horns' means "to deal courageously with a situation".

4. During the American Civil War, each battle had only one name?

Answer: False

There were some battles during the Civil War that had two names. The Battle of Bull Run, for example, was named by the North after Bull Run Creek. The more unfamilar name given by the South is Manassas, which was the nearest town. The South referred to some battles by the nearest town or city, whereas the North named some battles after the nearest body of water.

The names given by the North are more recognizable because the North won the Civil War.

5. Which American president was the first to serve two terms, non-consecutively?

Answer: Grover Cleveland
