The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history
And I had never heard of it. Although I’m not American.
It’s crazy, basically the 2nd American civil war. Miners storming Pinkerton machine gun nests is how the US got down to a 40 hour work week.
Its crazy they dont even talk about this in American schools. They attribute it to Henry Ford.
Lived in a liberal state, but when I was in high school, they attributed it to the Wobblies and left it at that.
