In 1703, the tiny settlement of Fort Louis de la Mobile celebrated America's very first Mardi Gras.

fierce conduct of maskers amid the following two decades created the press to require an end to Mardi Gras.

The men enhanced the festival and demonstrated that it could be delighted in a sheltered and bubbly way. Comus begat "krewe" and created a few Mardi Gras customs
