Patriot didn't understand the reason for the weird question, did he know a lot about American history? of course he knew a lot about his country's life story. "Yes I know a lot about American history."

Project Cadmus made sure that their experimental hero was smart and knew as much history of his country as possible if he wanted to relate to the American people. He wondered what the reasoning behind Hakon's question was. Regardless, Thomas hoped that the ice-based young hero would give him a quick answer so he could go help some of the clear some of rubble and debris caused by Icicle. He had an image to keep and causing great amounts of destruction without helping to clean it up, would not give a patriotic hero like himself a good reputation for being for the American people. He was a symbol, and symbols if not handled carefully can be twisted and turned into something they were never meant to be.
