Jamestown, one of the poorest neighborhoods in America is famous for their own private Civil War, during the American Civil War. Both pro-Confederate and pro-Union residents formed their own armed guerillas, which fought each other relentlessly, with neither side being officially part of either army. With 35% of the population living below poverty line, current residents have other things to worry about today.
