43: 1850 Timeline Twist & The Great Republic of Rough & Ready

On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1850 Timeline Twist features a glimpse of the 1850 Compromise, traditional songs which MAY have come out in 1850, a questionable hominy dish, cookies with mace (stir with your taser), an ad for starving artist painted window shades, a master of seascape paintings, and Victorian gentlemen’s fashion. Next, Amy Jo tells the hilarious story of the brief secession of the Republic of Rough and Ready, California; a group who struck gold immediately but disagreed w/ the taxation, they were quick to sign a new constitution, but REALLY didn’t think things through. We discover other secession movements of the past and present and the ridiculous but relatable reason Rough & Ready changed their minds.
