What Is The Conch Republic Independence Celebration?
Though many celebrations of independence have backgrounds originating from disputes and wars between people, the Conch Republic was formed to bring humor. The Florida Keys began their journey to become the Conch Republic was in response to a particular series of actions by the US Border Patrol. The Florida Keys seceded from the state, and it was then celebrated with the saying “We seceded where others failed.” as a humorous jab at the US Border Patrol out of comic rebellion.
