appreciate your indeed after the
virginias
split the western part was called the
restored state of Virginia
but a while later they changed the name
taken our
and a year later in 1862
the state was called West Virginia and
that is the name they still have today
there are many reasons for the split for
one
the western counties felt ignored here
were
unfair laws seemed only applied to them
and the western counties
opinions were ignored in the votes that
were made only reflected the choice is
up the ridge plantation owners
although some soldiers in West Virginia
for Confederate
that part of the state openly oppose the
idea of slavery and most all of them
thought
that's eating from that seceding from
the union was not the ideal plan
the few delegates in the western part of
the state met
reeling for discussion about seceding
from the state in the decision was in
the favor of doing it
in 1861 they split
in the main part of Virginia continued
with the planet seceding
while the Western have stayed with the
union
