Labor rights and the labor movement throughout history in the US have been incredibly violent so I don't know what revisionist history you're talking about.

You're right, I should amend my comment to note that it wasn't non violent and basically a small-scale civil war

Oh, hang on

(Actually, I do think I should have said it was nonviolent until they started shooting railroad workers, since that one came first. I'm a little fuzzy on the exact chronology but I think that would have been more accurate yes. The person I was responding to just said miners so I said miners.)
