Standing as the largest armed conflict since the Civil War is the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, a symbol of the horrific injustices and violence that miners had to endure for years. This crucial moment in American labor history was not just a mere battle, but a collective series of violent acts that influenced and shaped the trajectory of labor rights as it unmasked the harsh reality behind the labor class of the time.
