The Chase case is a terrible example for several reasons laid out here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24396727-kermit-roosevelt-amicus?responsive=1&title=1
That's an amicus brief for this case, filed with the Supreme Court by the great-great-grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, a historian who spends a great deal of time explaining the full context of the fourteenth from actual historical record and case law, including (and excoriating) Chase.
A lawyer and commentator for Lawfare declared it the best of the briefs he's seen, and he cited other excellent ones as well that do not rely on Chase.
It's 54 pages, so not for the timid, but I found it a fascinating read and anyone wanting to know the actual history will as well.

I would suggest camping out on https://www.boardgamegeek.com/ and seeing whether anything tickles your fancy in the suitable genre and weight category. Advanced search, or the genre-specific rankings are very helpful.
Many folks make geeklists that address questions such as yours as well.

A person is lucky to do one thing that affects a huge number of people's lives for the better, and even luckier if they know what it was and have been appreciated for it. Well done, Bram.

If you have a Mastodon account as well, it has the bookmark feature, so in a pinch I can bookmark by boosting and then switching to my Masto account and bookmarking it there. You just need to follow your kbin account from your Masto account.

That's incorrect. AA is explicitly spiritual, not affiliated with any religion. Everyone gets to choose their own path, there is no endorsed religion.
