Nope. This is a feature.

Seriously, though, to start in 1871 you need to either A) Download an 1871 Quickstart, or B) start in 1870, run a short season with crappy players (I usually use 4 games with a ML equivalence of about .4), and then let the ammy draft import the real players for 1871. Search around on the Historical Simulations Board to read about the various pitfalls of 19th century play.
