An Outstanding Site: Joe Cain, or "Slacabamorinico (often spelled Slackabamirimico), a Chickasaw Indian," a.k.a "Slac", in the annuals of history revived "Mardi Gras" in 1866 after the conclusion of the War Between the States. The revival, of course, was in defiance of Union troops occupying the port city (as in most occupied southern cities, the residents took great delight in taunting the troops and carpetbaggers at every given opportunity; the genteel folk of Charleston did somewhat the same thing with their Saint Cecilia Celebration). Old "Slac" and six of his fellow Confederate veterans created a ruckus, referred to in the "Mother City of Mystics" as "Raisin Cain"...........This "Site" chronicles "Joe Cain" and the California "Mardi Gras Sunday" celebration based on the "myths, legends, traditions, and historical facts of the Mobile Joe Cain Day celebration." |
