Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In 1979, the descendants of two families that were known for their feud in the late 19th century in West Virginia and Kentucky appeared on the game show "Family Feud". Which two families were they?"
...In 1865, Asa Harmon McCoy, a Union soldier, was murdered by Jim Vance, a relative of the Hatfields, who were Confederate sympathizers. The two families feuded and set about murdering each other until 1891 when the feuding and fighting finally came to an end. This is a story that is truly brutal and tragic; there were many deaths due to the hatred spawned by the war and murders through the years. Roseanna McCoy has been called the Juliet of the mountains for her ill-fated love affair with Johnson (Johnse) Hatfield. She died before reaching her 30th birthday. (Question by oldstuff28)
