This question comes from the American History section of the 2008 Civics Test. USCIS includes it to confirm applicants know the founding events and figures behind U.S. citizenship, not just civics theory. The accepted answer, "U.S. diplomat", is worth memorizing exactly since dates and names are graded strictly in the interview.
