The war is over, but the nation is in ruins. Begin your journey to rebuild.

The game can be played by 2 to 4 players. Each player must choose a chip (yellow, blue, red or green) and roll the dice. The player who gets the highest number will be the one to start the game. To play, each participant must roll the dice and move his/her piece to the corresponding square. In each square there must be a question about "Sports". If he/she answers correctly, he/she can move forward, if not, it is the next player's turn. On the board there are also 6 special squares (in gray with the number in black) in which the player loses a turn without playing. The player who reaches the finish line first wins.

Johnson’s Lenient Plan

Following the Union victory in the Civil War, the nation faced the uncertainty of what would happen next. Two major questions arose. Were the Confederate states still part of the Union, or, by seceding, did they need to reapply for statehood with new standards for admission? Andrew Johnson's view, as stated above, was that the war had been fought to preserve the Union. He formulated a lenient plan, based on Lincoln's earlier 10% plan, to allow the Southern states to begin holding elections and sending representatives back to Washington.

Radical Republicans

The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 split the states of the former Confederacy into five military districts and specified how new governments—based on manhood suffrage without regard to race—were to be constituted. Thus began Radical Reconstruction, which lasted until the demise of the last Republican-led Southern governments in 1877.

Freedmen’s Bureau Established

On March 3, 1865, Congress passed “An Act to establish a Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and Refugees” to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical services, and land to displaced Southerners, including newly freed African Americans.

Lincoln Assassinated

On the evening of April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot while attending a performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre. He was accompanied by his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, Major Henry R. Rathbone, and Rathbone's fiancée, Clara Harris. During the play, a figure entered the presidential box, aimed a derringer pistol, and shot Lincoln, causing him to slump forward.

Andrew Johnson Takes Office

With the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson became the 17th President of the United States (1865-1869), an old-fashioned southern Jacksonian Democrat of pronounced states' rights views.
