美国边缘文化
研究美国边缘文化是一个相当艰巨的课题。谁能谈一谈，这些文化本身在抗争和颠覆中重塑形象的可能性？谢谢你 ！

American Frontier Culture

Edge of American culture is a very difficult issue. Who can talk about these cultures themselves in protest and subversion in the possibility of reshaping the image? Thank you!

The heart of the WFM was located in Montana, Colorado, and Idaho, the largest founding union of the IWW.

Some of the most intense and revolutionary labor struggles have taken place in the Midwest. In Ludlow, Colorado, National Guardmen gunned down 13 children and a pregnant woman during a miner strike, in retaliation, the miners took up rifles and battled the National Guard to near defeat, until the miner's union (I believe the WFM) ran out of resources and had to end the strike.

In Cour d'Alenes, Idaho, 1,000 miners of the WFM (Western Federation of Miners) took up rifles and expropriated the train and rails, traveled to the most expensive ($200,000) combine and blew it up. From then, the northern half of Idaho was effectively under the direct control of the miners. It took until the National Guard rounded up every miner and nearly starved them all in a corral/pen, that the battle ended.

Oh, and these events took place in 1892, and 1897 respectively, I believe.

Also, Chicago has always been a hotbed of revolutionary action, that is technically the Midwest, although I guess you mean the more rural parts.
