I remember reading about a confrontation between coal miners and mine owners in West Virgina, but I don't remember the details.

Quoted:
I remember reading about a confrontation between coal miners and mine owners in West Virgina, but I don't remember the details. Those were labor strikes that got way outta hand... There were several, including one or two in the Dakotas IIRC. Several were quite bloody, and involved Army Air Corp bombers being called in. |

Blacks in Detroit refer to the '67 riots as a "rebellion" at the Detroit African American Museum. |

The Yavapai Standoff of '92?
This is my favorite example to use when someone claims that armed citizens can never force the government to back down. |

Perhaps when Haig asserted he was in control after the assasination attempt on Reagan? Maybe that was more of a political coup.

Was Ludlum Colorado in the Twentieth Century? Damn Union Punks
Rodney King Riots? Rebel 500 at Darlington? ETA: AIM at Wounded Knee (or Alcatraz?) Bonus Marchers in the 30's –– put down by MacArthur, and source of the original firearm legislation? Maybe the establishment of Great Smokey's National Park? |
