West Virginia was so cool before the modern day. Now instead of anti-slavery and miner agitation, it's Confederate flags and corporate simping.
Which I find ironic because of all the coal miner disputes including the Battle of Blair Mountain where workers had an actual fight with guns against the owner's lackeys and it got so bad that the fucking president had to send in troops.
And the entire state was shaped by the New Deal tree planting efforts.
