West Virginia coal wars
The West Virginia coal wars (1920–21), also known as the mine wars, arose out of a dispute between coal companies and miners.
On May 19, 1920, a shootout in Matewan, West Virginia, between agents of the Baldwin-Felts and local miners, who later joined the United Mine Workers of America, sparked what became known as the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest insurrection in the United States since the American Civil War.
The shootout is re-enacted annually in Matewan, West Virginia.〔''Herald Dispatch'' (Huntington, WV: ("West Virginia filled with festivals for this upcoming weekend," May 13, 2008 ), accessed December 14, 2010〕
John Sayles dramatized these events in his 1987 film ''Matewan''.〔Internet Movie Database: (Matewan (1987) ), accessed December 14, 2010〕
