[QUOTE="frozen-ace, post: 1200341, member: 10631"] For those interested in labor movement history I find the West Virginia Coal Wars of the 1910s and 1920s to be very interesting, especially the Battle of Blair Mountain. The heavily armed miners went to war against management and their private army of strike breakers. Planes were used to drop bombs on the miners, and the military was called up to intervene on behalf of management and stop the miners.
