The Bizarre True Story of a Micronation Declared on a St. Louis Sidewalk! | Hidden History

Imagine a man, fed up with city life, declaring his own independent nation on a public sidewalk, complete with a constitution and a 'declaration of war' on the mayor. Welcome back to Hidden Histories Revealed, where we uncover the most extraordinary and unbelievably quirky true stories from the past! Dive into the incredible and almost forgotten tale of the 'Republic of the Red Hats,' founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1961. Olon King, a frustrated citizen, symbolically seceded from the United States, established his own 'country' on a 15-foot stretch of sidewalk, and adorned himself with a red hat to signify his sovereignty. Discover the bizarre reasons behind his declaration, the peculiar 'laws' he enacted, the humorous (and sometimes serious) reactions from city officials and the public, and the unexpected legal battles that ensued.
