В 1863 году в Атланте произошел мятеж из-за бекона, который получил название “Атлантский беконовый мятеж”. Инцидент случился из-за нехватки мяса и продовольствия из-за военных действий во время Гражданской войны.

Мятеж начался с группы женщин, которые вышли на улицы города требовать продовольствия для своих семей. Они протестовали против высоких цен на бекон и другие продукты. Позже к ним присоединились мужчины, и мятеж вышел из-под контроля.

Полиция попыталась разогнать толпу, но встретила сопротивление. Произошли столкновения, грабежи и даже пожары. В итоге вмешалась военная администрация, чтобы восстановить порядок.

Атлантский беконовый мятеж стал одним из самых известных инцидентов в истории города и напоминает о трудностях, с которыми сталкивались жители во время Гражданской войны.
