Appalachia is not a monolith. It is beautiful and sad, it is scary and comforting, it is loving and resentful. Appalachia is more than just a mountain range. It is home. It may not be perfect but it’s ours and as Appalachians we will protect it. #appalachia #appalachian

Battle of Blair Mountain, the culminating event of the West Virginia Mine Wars. The mine wars were a series of strikes, battles, and marches that took place in the southern West Virginia coalfields from 1912 to 1922. It remains the largest labor uprising in American history. In August 1921, thousands of armed pro-union miners assembled in the town of Marmet, West Virginia. As these union miners marched south to the border of Boone and Logan counties, the Logan County Sheriff, state police, the state militia, and coal company employees had assembled to stop the miners from entering Logan County. A four-day firefight followed, killing over 100 miners and at least twenty anti-union men. The federal government responded by deploying 2,500 soldiers and a small squadron of bombers to the area. #appalachia #appalachianmountains #appalachian #history #union #battleofblairmountain #umwa
