The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
What Americans think about the Middle Ages2025 Mar 28
YouGov has released their poll results from when they asked Americans questions about the Middle Ages. Unsurprisingly, there is some bonkers stuff in here, like some people "viewing the black plague favorably" (wtf???) and some people thinking the assassination of Julius Caesar and the French Revolution both took place during the Middle Ages but that the Crusades did not (wtf???)
The real surprising thing here, though, is the revelation that Americans think more often about the Middle Ages than they do Ancient Rome, and with less gender separation between the results, too.
