In October 1774, at the First Continental Congress, Joseph Galloway pleaded to his fellow countrymen for unity between the “mother country” and America, but his impressive life within the American system was not enough to break the strong urge for independence. Galloway had chosen to be a loyalist but when he did he was declaring his home as his opposition. Joseph Galloway was a true American that had the potential to play a large part in the future democracy due to his past as a lawyer, as an elected official, and a close relationship with Benjamin Franklin, which were all shown through his appearances in Philadelphia’s Supreme Court, his elected position as Speaker in a provincial assembly, and his correspondence with Franklin. Galloway experienced success while performing his duties in the several different positions he held, but his life in America was not enough to persuade him of America’s power or how influential he could have been in America’s future. His decline in power came after his “Plan of Union” in the First Continental Congress fell short by one vote, and this led him

On May 19, 1920, Thomas Felts, the president of the Baldwin-Felts agency, Albert and Lee Felts, which were his two younger brothers and ten other guards, arrived in Matewan to evict miners and their families. Chief of Police Sid Hatfield and a group of miners tried to stop them from carrying out their objective. When the guards returned to Matewan from Stone Mountain Camp after they finished evicting miners, some union members tried to prevent them from boarding the train to Bluefield.
