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.
@TetsuKaba @tyghebright And thank you as well; haven't heard this either!💙
@tyghebright Thank you; never heard of this until now!💙
@tyghebright Lots of stories aren’t told. I learned about this on in a college civil liberties history class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre
