Summary Introduction
Introduction
The rural Appalachian region in the United States struggles with poverty. Many people live in the mountains with no electricity or internet access that is taken for granted in other areas. Education has been historically deemphasized in this agrarian region, and still struggles today to meet state requirements. Young people often leave the mountains to look for work in urban areas instead. These issues are important if the United States is going to live up to its ideal of equal opportunity for all.
