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.
