Andrew Jackson served as president from 1829 to 1837 had no formal education.

Abraham Lincoln served as president from 1861 to 1865 had a spotty education that totaled about 2 years.

I don't know much about Andrew Jackson but know that Abraham Lincoln was largely self-taught reading a lot of books. He would sporadically attend school as a child but had no university education. He still started his own law practice and became a politician and the rest is history....

Even though there are 28 members in the European Union, the 13 stars represent the original 13 members.

Ummm... CC the European flag has 12, not 13 stars... The circle of stars is supposedly a symbol of unity (a bit of a stretch, given current politics). The number of stars does not represent (and never represented) the number of members states.

As per my post #1641 ( and in response to your post #1651) my answer of "Cuba" was not, as you suggest, a response to the most frequent country of origin for immigrants to the State of Vermont.
Rather it was in response to your Q as to the most frequent country of origin for immigrants to th State of Florida.

The number of stars does not represent (and never represented) the number of members states. You are right on checking this info I find that the 12 stars on the European Union flag represented the 12 original nations of the union when the flag was chosen, but by the time the EU was inaugurated there were already 15 nation. - It just goes to prove that not everything you see on the internet is true.

Sometimes I am on the run in the morning preparing things for later in the day and updating the trivia thread as I am rushing out the door. These two questions used a similar graphic was confusing. So The country of origin of most new immigrants to Florida is Cuba is correct.
