That's not how the Coal Wars worked. The poverty in West Virginia existed prior to, and since, coal mines and coal towns. And while we can have a long discussion about why Appalachia remained poor, it would be more reasonable to blame the US government and Coal Companies (via the use of mining towns) to keep coal cheap and competitive internationally to support the US's efforts at mass industrialization. Most of everything I mentioned was run by "yankees".
Thing is, almost the entirety of your narrative could be lifted out of A Progressive History of The United States by Howard Zinn, except you just replaced "Capitalist" with "Jew". There's no real difference, you're just a Leftist and I want you to stop pretending.
You're retarded quote about the "Second American Revolution" is damning from that statement alone in it's incompetence. Most of the Plantation elite of the South really didn't go anywhere, and didn't lose much of their land holdings. Many of your most influential politicians in the south are still descendants of those plantation aristocrats from the antebellum period. They also hated the Appalachian peoples in the first place. The "Mountain Folk" v. "Coastal Elite" divide has existed since prior to the American Revolution, and is one of the reasons why West Virginia seceded from Virginia.
This is, of course, never true; but is the most common refrain you hear from Communists. No, it is not the Kulak shopkeeper that oppresses people. Appalachians wouldn't have hardly encountered almost any jews, or jewish stores. The abolishment of the old Company Town system meant that men who worked int the mines built merchant businesses around the mines, but mines only have a limited time span, and an economy needs to be diverse in income sources to succeed. Blacks and Appalachians both had the same problem in having low literacy, low mathematical aptitude, which prevented them from developing complex economies. But the thing that really killed their success off was the introduction of Socialism via Unions and Racialism into their societies that drew their attention from personal and civic development, into rampant oppression Olympics and resentment mongering. You know, the thing you're doing with regards to jews?
No, you're just a Race Communist jew hater from everything I can see.
