Blood, chains, and rifles in Tennessee. In 1891 miners rose up against convict leasing, slavery by another name. The Coal Creek War helped kill it. Messy solidarity, but it mattered.

Ever wonder why those national guard armories are in your town? Hint: it wasn't to stop invasions. They were anti-labor, set up to stop strikes like this one.
