    Or at least watch a good relevant movie, like Matewan.

    Iā€™m still surprised that movie was even allowed to be made and released in the United States, TBH.

      Thatā€™s literally state history for me, and we actually learned all about it in WV History class in 7th grade. That was decades ago, and I wouldnā€™t be surprised at all if itā€™s no longer taught.
