Wide Awake: The Torchbearers of Change

Step into the shoes of Edgar Yergason, a daring 19-year-old textile clerk in 1860 Hartford, as you orchestrate the rise of the Wide Awakes—a grassroots political movement that aimed to challenge the slave power in America. Navigate through the tumultuous landscape of antebellum politics, utilizing your creativity, sewing skills, and wit to design capes, organize marches, and rally fellow young activists. Experience the thrill of torchlit parades, intense confrontations, and the spark of civil unrest as you must make critical decisions that will not only shape your life but also the future of a nation on the brink of civil war. Will you become a champion of democracy or be overwhelmed by the chaos of your time?
