What's Your 1789 Name?

About This Quiz

They say that if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere, but what about New York City in 1789? 

Life back then was hard: homes lacked indoor plumbing and were insufficiently heated, bathing was a luxury and most people had to work from dawn until dusk. As if that weren't enough, many Western countries were in a state of extreme upheaval, as the United States strove to elect its first president and Congress, Brazil fought for independence from Portugal and the French Revolution commenced. However, things weren't all bad: Antoine Lavoisier penned the first chemistry textbook, Elijah Craig had just invented bourbon and Mozart was writing old-timey bangers!
