I was reading this (communist?) site: https://www.redneckrevolt.org/ They seem to be obsessed with the early industrial times, and suggest that we are still fighting a war against "bosses" today. They mention this subject a lot: http://infogalactic.com/info/Coal_Wars Can someone give me a starting point for understanding these events from a capitalist perspective? I remember stef's presentation on robber barons. I need to do more research, but my head is spinning. Were the workers actually being exploited this much, or are we only getting one side of the story? Would the seeming exploitation have sorted out naturally as the country developed anyway? Did the coming of unions eventually affect overall American prosperity for the worse?
