For this essay I described the rise and current falling of coal mining in the appalachian region. The research I did not only express the history of coal mining, but talked about the coal camps, the current problems that are associated with mining processes, and the ways in which culture was influenced to change. I learned a lot about what coal has done to destroy and build a region in different ways at the same time and expressed all of my findings in a format that goes from early history to the coal camps, to legislation acts, to current market dwindling, to projections of the future and what coal has to offer for it. This essay should be interesting for all people because even people outside the region are influenced by coal mining inside the region. The coal mined from Appalachia and now other parts of the united states, create power for homes and business and factories that make some of the products you use everyday. the industrial wouldn’t have been what it was without the use of coal as a means to create power for the growth of industry.
