The Mocking Day Incident

The Mocking Day Incident, also called the Mocking Day Slaughter was a grave incident that happened in 1820 in The Territories of Quentin. The incident started in January of 1820. As the new year rolled around in the Territories, which were at this time enraged with the Republic of Megatridimensional Order after several Acts and taxes were passed, and they would not grant the Territories statehood. So, in 1820, as an act of safety and of rebellion, every city of the Territories declared Mocking Day to be cancelled in August of that year, and that doing any illegal activities on that day would be illegal like any other day. All the citizens were ready to oblige, and it looked like it would be successful. However, in July of 1820 a group of people from the MTO came to Baltimore to celebrate Mocking Day. They thought, as it says in The Barburs Journal, that the competition in the Territories would be less. They did not know, however, that Mocking Day had been cancelled that year. So, when the day came, they decided to go out and steal from a few people in the local park. However, when they beat up a man and stole his money in an alley, the man's friends came and started fighting the criminals. Then the local Quentinian police became involved, and took the side of the Quentinians. The Megatrine people thought this was unfair, so they called the Order Guard. Soon, a gunfight was happening in Baltimore, with the local police, Order Guard, and hundreds of other Quentinians. Eventually the well armed Order Guards prevailed, and jailed the remaining Quentinians. The whole Incident was an outrage for the Quentinians, and the death toll was outstanding. Over 477 people died, most of them Quentinians. The event triggered the approval to start work on the Quentinian Declaration of Independence 2 days later, because The Territorial Assembly realized the country could no longer be loyal to savages like the MTO.

The Number Seven McHenry Graveyard

One gain for the Territories and the future USQ was the Number Seven McHenry Graveyard. After the incident, Kindy Bost-Jameson, along with others, built the graveyard to hold the 345 Quentinians who died. It is still very important today, and holds the bodies of all of the USQ's most important people to live, including former GTNEC of the USQ Max Wagner, General Maxamiil Schlager, and former President of the USQ Samuel Logan. It is a beautiful graveyard, and is truly an honor to the dead of the USQ.
