Can anyone tell me where the term Redneck comes from?

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

IIRC it refers to how rural farmers' necks are often sunburned and red.

Try reading about the Battle of Blair Mountain. You will be surprised

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
