Excellent timing. In a conversation I learned only yesterday that Red Neck wasn’t always a pejorative term. The miners wore red neckerchiefs. They were workers standing up to the man / system. It’s been completely changed in meaning deliberately, or so I was told, as part of the effort to erase them from history. Seems possible to me.
Also, there’s apparently no mention of this class battle in West Virginia history books. Anyone here able to verify that?
