Woodrow Wilson would be President of the United States during the Time that West Virginia, Colorado, and Michigan were falling apart with the strikes. During his time the government finally started enacting better labor laws and negotiating with the three states for better treatment of the miners. Do you think he could have went further in this to prevent what happened at Matewan and the Battle of Blair Mountain?

Who do you think started the uproar in Ludlow? The miners or the Colorado National Guard? Do you think that the appearance of the US soldiers made the Colorado National Guard stand down helped to ease tensions in the area?

Between September 1913 and April 1914, the Colorado Front Range saw the largest uprising of labor against the company operators in the West. Do you think that without the help of these other conflicts that labor laws would have ever changed?

While there is no evidence of who actually started the panic of the Christmas Eve party and no one was officially charged...do you think that a member of the Citizensā Alliance could have caused the panic that killed so many people in the stairwell?

We do not go into a lot of detail about the other Coal Wars that sprouted up during the same time in other parts of the nation but we felt that they did need to be mentioned. Do you think that the Copper Country strike of 1913ā1914 had an influence in helping to treat the miners of the Appalachians better?

Today's short backs up in time a little bit to do connections between the Hatfield and McCoy Feud, the Paint-Cabin Creek strike of 1911-12, and the Matewan War. Do you think these things are connected together or are they separate events in the same area entirely?

Do you think that the Feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families had very much to do with what happened at Matewan?

The Month of April will be dedicated to the happenings in Matewan, West Virginia in the early 1900s. This would be the first time in American history that the workers would go to war with the US Government. Do you think that this will help get the attention that some things needed to change about coal mining practices?

As our page is mainly concentrated on the history of the Appalachian Mountains, it is very important to understand that the Paint-Cabin Creek Strike began a period of wars between the labor, unions, and owners and operators of the mines of this nation. Lasting between April 18, 1912, through July 1913, there were approximately 50 deaths related to the Strike directly as well as many more deaths in the Holly Grove camps due to starvation and malnutrition.
Estimates of damages from the strike and violence would cost about $100 million dollars. Even though there were hundreds of arrests made, they were released from jail and allowed to return to work. The coal operators and Baldwin-Felts were never charged or implicated in their part of the Strike, which would cause a lasting trend to this day. Paint-Cabin Creek Strike would go down in history as being one of the more violent labor confrontations in history. We hope you enjoyed learning about how the Appalachians helped to shape today's labor laws in the United States.
