What happens

Yankee Doodle Bugs is a 1954 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short, written by Warren Foster and directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on August 28, 1954, and stars Bugs Bunny. In the short, Bugs' nephew Clyde has trouble remembering important dates and events in American history in preparation for an exam, so Bugs offers to help, but recounts his version of American history. The cartoon's title is a humorous portmanteau of the American folk song "Yankee Doodle" and the word "doodlebug". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
