As the United States entered World War I, it was found to be necessary to start drafting men to serve in the military.
That decision was met with widespread resistance across the country, with protests and riots springing up. In one part of America, though, that resistance came close to turning into something akin to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia that happened that same year.
Today we tell the story of an Appalachian populist revolt that almost happened in the summer of 1917, centered in the town of St. Paul, Virginia.
