18th-century public health strategy

Containment

Slow a smallpox outbreak across the Northern and Middle Colonies by closing roads, ports, and regional borders from 1775 to 1782 before the infection outruns your authority.

Year 1775

Outcome pressure Rising

Smallpox was already raging in British-occupied Boston and also struck the Continental Army during the invasion of Canada.

Goal

Keep infected regions below five through 1782. Every closure slows travel but costs public trust.

Choices

Quarantines are powerful, road cordons reduce regional spread, and port closures reduce coastal jumps.
