Reconstruction and the Rise of Big Business
Directions: Play in teams of two. Team 1 picks a category and an amount. They continue to play until they get a wrong answer. Then team 2 plays. Keep track of used blocks because they can only be chosen once. Play until a predetermined time has elapsed, or until all blocks are chosen. The team with the most money wins. Answer each statement with a question. Be sure to wait until the hand appears before clicking any item. Click the money amounts on slide 3 in the middle to ensure that it changes color after selection.
