Outlawing Easter Egg Roll
One of the most well-known Easter traditions in American is the annual Easter Egg Roll, this dates back to the 17th President of America, President Andrew Johnson. However, in 1876 the annual tradition had ripped up the landscaping and they didn’t have enough money to get it fixed. Instead of hosting it somewhere else, they introduced the Turf Protection Act, stating that it was to prevent any portion of the Capitol grounds and terraces from being used as play-grounds. The act was passed but was soon renewed in 1878.
