Explanation:
[STC001597] Rough and Ready is a settlement in Nevada County, California, about an hour’s drive northeast of Sacramento. The name is a tribute to Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, rather than a reflection of the attitudes of its inhabitants. One Captain A.A. Townsend, who arrived in 1849 and discovered gold, gave the town its name. Townsend, who had fought under Taylor in the Mexican War, chose the moniker Old Rough and Ready for the town. Concerned about taxation with representation, Rough & Ready made the brief decision to separate from the country shortly after. However, “The Republic of Rough and Ready” was short-lived after it was claimed that some of its residents attempted to purchase alcohol in a nearby town but were turned away because they were foreigners.
