It was really really bad in the late 1960s though the 1970s.
Really bad.
Every state cursed with deep veins of coal that needed shaft mining has thousands of dead from it. The entire industry was built on blood. Immigrant blood. That’s what makes me so angry with people like McConnell. His people were treated like trash, shot, ran off. Irish trash. Yet here he is along with far too many other Micks who now stand and piss and shit on people. Shameful.
