SUMMARY:Civil War: The Homefront in Pennsylvania's Coal Region
DESCRIPTION:In the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania\, the Civil War u
 nfolded far from the front lines\, yet touched every colliery\, town\, and
  household.\n\nAnthracite coal from the Coal Region powered the U.S. Navy\
 , fired Northern factories\, and kept the Union war machine moving - makin
 g these patch towns and villages as vital as any battlefield.\n\nYet while
  sons and neighbors marched off to fight for the Union\, unrest simmered a
 t home. Antiwar politics surged through mining villages. Draft resistance 
 flared. State and federal troops occupied communities not only to enforce 
 conscription\, but to suppress strikes and labor organizing as wartime pro
 fits flooded the region.\n\nThis program explores the Coal Region’s divi
 ded home front - where patriotism\, profit\, coercion\, and class conflict
  collided beneath the shadow of the coal breaker and the American flag.\n\
