Plus they started Mardi Gras.
Mobile holding parades in August and New Year's Eve in the 1860s does not = Mardi Gras.
The first Mardi Gras celebration in the New Orleans area was in 1699, and New Orleans was parading regularly by 1857. Mardi Gras truly became big in Mobile after Joe Cain saw it in New Orleans in 1867 and then brought it back to Mobile.
