The one with Bugs as a Yankee against Yosemite Sam as the Confederate. I remember that one also. And the one's making the Japanese look stupid during the War. Luckily most of us grew up and realized real life. And the camps we put Japanese Americans in.
Not speaking on the feud or its applicants, but the plight of the people of the mountainous region of western Virginia or eastern Kentucky, I always believed what elevated the development and living standards amongst them was the TVA. It was the introduction of household power, lights, etc., more than anything else that lifted these people out of their "Old Ways".
I found this small and super interesting documentary. Very informative and really well told. Personally, I find it very sad and humiliating what stories are still spread today about the people of Appalachia. From inbreeding to ignorance. I personally think that this family tragedy is very significant at a time when it was all about pure survival. The Civil War certainly changed people, and the South in particular suffered greatly under the circumstances that prevailed after the war. All in all, adverse living conditions in which it could very easily come to such disputes. I personally find the story of these two families extremely interesting. Even if it was connected with a lot of suffering over decades
Usually people who claimed land long in America's past were able tp acquire wealth. This does not, however, seem to be the case in Appalachia. Was the lack of development in the area due to the environment? The standard of living of living seems very low in terms of material wealth.
"We need to understand that sometimes the people telling the story about violence have as much of an agenda as the people who were acting out the violence in the first place." Boy is that true! Some people or groups always have an agenda to get you believing them.
This is a very interesting history that I never heard of. Of course PBS will present this with an obvious slant. Nonetheless I will watch this doc and then conduct my own research.
Where the heck do you live? Everyone has heard the legend of the Hatfield's and McCoy's. And you can trust PBS to be truthful, and Historically accurate.
They killed the three McCoy boys stabbed and shot Ellison Hatfield first, not that it makes things better, the one that that voted for Hatfield was not sho
Sorry, this is NOT the "American Story"--the reality is the book "Hillbilly Elegy." Some of my ancestors were Scotch-Irish and settled in the WVa-Pennsylvania border area in the late 1700s. Within one generation they had educated themselves out of the log cabins (one was an early grad of Bethany College). Within two generations, they became doctors, dentists, businessmen (one was chief counsel to the MKT Railroad). On the other side, my "rural ancestors" in 19thc western NYS didn't run around having 11 children; they worked on the family farm--and teaching school--til around the age of 30 when they could afford to buy land and start a family. And, of course, they were ALL anti-slavery and fought for the Union. The kind of lifestyle depicted here is the losers who refused to evolve and become educated beyond their primitive roots.
My grandmother got a degree from Northwestern. Her sister was a successful architect who corresponded with the author Theodore Dreiser. Their mom was Katie McCoy - a child during the feud who was whisked away to Ohio.
I had no idea they inspired those cartoons. You can actually hear them say McCoy! I grew up watching those. Wow! So interesting.
