Just as unusual as its name the town of Rough and Ready has a unique history. In April 1850, Rough and Ready it became the ONLY mining town to officially secede from the Union. The goal was to avoid both a tax on mines and prohibiting alcohol.
And yet 3 months later while making preparations to celebrate the July 4th Independence Day of the US, the miners realized they could not participate in the party because Rough and Ready was no longer officially a part of the U.S. Residents quickly voted to rejoin the Union and the party was on once again. #WisdomWednesday
