The abolition of slavery required a constitutional amendment. But a constitutional amendment then and now requires a 2/3 vote in both chambers and ratification by 3/4 of state legislatures. Even when free states came to outnumber slave states, it seems slave states would still have made up more than a quarter of all states and could have blocked abolition for a very long time.

The only reason the Reconstruction Amendments actually passed when they did is that the federal government forced the states which had seceded to ratify the amendments as price for readmission to the union. But nothing like this could have happened absent a civil war. By seceding, most slave states had lost whatever p

I have a friendly suggestion for game designers:

Create denominations of money (or of any other resource) that are evenly divisible and that are not too close in value.

Evenly Divisible: Each denomination is an even multiple of the value above and below it. For instance, for the series 1/5/25/100/500 or 1/5/20/100/500, each next largest denomination is exactly 4 or 5 times larger than the next lowest denomination. This makes converting between denominations faster and easier. Contrast this with a common series such as 1/2/5/10/20/50 in which often you can't convert from 2s to 5s without also using 1s, from 20s to 50s without using 10s, etc.

Not Too Close in Value: Each d
