What conflict was Charles Everett Lively involved in in Appalachia and Colorado?
Coal Wars The Coal Wars, or the Coal Mine Wars, were a series of armed labor conflicts in the United States, roughly between 1890 and 1930. Although they occurred mainly in the East, particularly in Appalachia, there was a significant amount of violence in Colorado after the turn of the century.
Peter McQueen Peter McQueen (c. 1780 – 1820) was a Creek Indian chief, prophet, trader and warrior from "Talisi" (Tallassee, among the Upper Towns in present-day Alabama.) He was one of the young men known as Red Sticks, who became a prophet for expulsion of the European Americans from Creek territory and a revival of traditional practices. The Red Sticks attracted a majority of the population in the Upper Towns in the early nineteenth century. From open conflict with the Lower Towns in the Creek War, the Red Sticks were drawn into conflict with the United States after being attacked by territorial militia.
