In response to someone calling me out for the information when I said very confidently, oh I have that.
here you go. I’m a guy on the internet so this isn’t comprehensive but it’s a workable overview. I don’t count anything before 1847, because I’m actively trying to argue that those are peasant revolts, and didn’t count Indian uprisings before the frontier closed either for the same reason.
Thank you for the prompt. I do quite a lot of research and I talk quite a lot of sh*t and I absolutely need to be finishing functional interpretations of things way more regularly. 
The map chopped off my descriptors, these are the: Colorado,Ludlow Massacre,1914
Washington, D.C.,District of Columbia,Bonus Army March,1932
Oxford,Mississippi,Ole Miss Riots,1962
Orangeburg,South Carolina,Orangeburg Massacre,1968
Kent,Ohio,Kent State Shootings,1970
Attica,New York,Attica Uprising,1971
With the great railroad strike of 1877 thrown in for good measure because there were dozens and that is solidly a, not-localized workers revolt
I am aware that the ole Miss riot executions were not officially carried out by the National Guard, but it was with one of them’s service weapons so it’s on the list 
Four dead in o hi o
I never heard that song, thank you.

This is about a reference to Kent State https://pophistorydig.com/topics/kent-state-shootings/
Yup! I went to college there in the late 90s so I’m well acquainted with the lore and song
Amazing history too … Crosby and his band mates put the song together within days of the event and released it in two weeks and through a record label that gave them full control and freedom to do whatever they wanted.
In the 90s in an interview, Crosby explained that something like that wasn’t possible anymore because record labels have a strangle hold on performers and would never allow this kind of music to be commercially produced and marketed. Performers can still make the music but it would never be allowed on a corporate label or corporate controlled air waves or even digitally controlled streaming services today.
And also maybe the opening theme song to The Adventures of Pete and Pete references Kent State?
Hey Sandy by Polaris
The band officially does not remember what the third line of the lyrics actually is. I have the album on vinyl and they intentionally put blurred text as that line.
Jokes aside tho very informative, ty op
My step-mom was a student at Kent State when that went down. She was in her dorm room and aware of the protests, had no idea the Guard had shot people. I’m not certain she knew they were even there.
