In 1827 a group of adventurers tried to set up a Texan republic called Fredonia; the name Fredonia had been invented in about 1800 by Dr. Samuel Latham Mitchell as a term for the United States, “a land where things are freely done,” and was borrowed by the unsuccessful adventurers. Fredonia, incidentally, was the name of Groucho Marx’s homeland in the film Duck Soup. |
