The
Free and Rowdy Party was a political party that operated in
Atlanta,
Georgia, during the middle of the 19th century. Although the mayoral elections of Atlanta are not contested along party lines, the first three mayors of the city were
Rowdies, as members of the Free and Rowdy Party were called. They included
Moses Formwalt,
Benjamin Bomar, and
Willis Buell, each serving one year as per the city charter.
The
Rowdies included many owners of distilleries, bars and brothels, and represented most of what the city was, especially as an outpost along the railroads. They existed in direct opposition to the
Moral Party, which called for temperance and chastity. The two parties were also said to differ on approaches to civil engagement, and so where the
Rowdies were the party of militant disorder, the Moral Party promoted law and order.
Atlanta's fourth Mayor,
Jonathan Norcross, was a member of the Moral Party, and used city hall to so harass the
Rowdies that many moved out of what was then incorporated into the city, to places like Snake Nation and
Murrell's Row.
