How it works

  1. A few at a time. You see each new independence date first, then recall it until it sticks.
  2. Mistakes become practice. Whatever you miss comes back sooner, mixed with what you already know.
  3. Keep it for good. Spaced repetition brings everything back just before you would forget it.
