The yellow fever epidemic of 1878 profoundly affected public perception of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, as the festive atmosphere was overshadowed by the widespread fear and tragedy caused by the disease. Many viewed the celebration as reckless and inappropriate during a time of suffering, leading to calls for cancellations or modifications of the festivities.
