In 1921, 10,000 aggrieved coal miners in West Virginia wanted more pay and attempted to unionize. The owners sent in 3000 armed goons and the law to put down the insurrection. The ensuing Battle of Blair Mountain killed dozens of Americans and only ceased when 30,000 US soldiers arrived. It was the bloodiest battle in America since the Civil War. All because folks wanted a living wage.

The Battle of Blair Mountain (August-September 1921) was the largest labor uprising in U.S. history, where 10,000 West Virginia coal miners, fighting for unionization against brutal company control, battled sheriff's deputies and coal company enforcers, ending only after President Harding sent federal troops to quell the five-day armed conflict, resulting in significant casualties and marking a turning point in the Coal Wars.

Remember Our Struggle: The Battle of Blair Mountain In 1921, tens of thousands of coal miners in West Virginia took up arms in what became the largest labor uprising in U.S. history: the Battle of Blair Mountain. These were working men demanding the most basic rights — to organize, to be paid fairly, to live without private armies policing their towns. They marched under union banners, facing company guards, state forces, and eventually the U.S. military. Planes dropped bombs on American workers

History's stark contradictions are a source of endless fascination and horror. For example: the Tulsa Race Massacre and the multiracial uprising that became known as the Battle of Blair Mountain both took place in different parts of the US in 1921.
