The Chicago Haymarket labor riots.

Emma Goldman's trial and subsequent deportation for protesting the draft in ww1. Mother Jones and the minors of Appalachia. Or in other words, the mothers of the labor movement in the late 19th and early 20th century.

And yeah, James, I'm waiting for the redo on vol 1.

This isn't exactly what you asked for so roast me if you must. If you're doing a big-picture world history kind of thing, I hope you will consider the effect that patriarchal, angry, vindictive Sky Father bullshit has had over the millennia (something tells me you might already be doing this). In particular, the contrast between that and the Earth Mother-based cultures that were replaced/crushed/subsumed by the patriarchal bullshit. I've read exactly one history book that talks about this in depth although I'm sure that there are more. But I want some motherfucking swearing with it! PS I've got your two history books but will definitely buy the news ones 'cause PICTURES motherfucker!
