Abraham Lincoln's Crossroads - an educational game based on the

which debuted at the National Constitution Center in June 2005. The
online game is intended for advanced middle- and high-school students.
It invites them to learn about Lincoln’s leadership by exploring
the political choices he made. An animated Lincoln introduces a situation,
asks for advice and prompts players to decide the issue for themselves,
before learning the actual outcome. At the end of the game, players
discover how frequently they predicted Lincoln’s actions. A
Resources Page keyed to each chapter provides links to relevant Websites
on Lincoln and the Civil War, permitting students to explore issues
