Life in Appalachia in 1916 was characterized by rural poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, and a predominantly agrarian lifestyle. Many residents relied on subsistence farming and coal mining for their livelihoods, facing challenging economic conditions and harsh living environments. The region was often isolated, with difficult terrain and inadequate infrastructure hindering development and connectivity. Cultural traditions, strong community ties, and a rich heritage were vital in shaping the identity of Appalachian communities during this time.
The Appalachia area is in the exact same place as it is in real life. The location never changed.
People were isolated from the rest of the world.
