Ever heard of the Battle of Blair Mountain? Federal troops were called against 13,000 miners.
Three battles that led to the biggest armed insurrection since the Civil War.
This is a key part of American history that's not taught in schools, and it needs to be. It's as important as learning about the massacre of black wall street.
