virginias

13) We don't understand Virginia and West Virgina...if the are of W. Va was already part of VA, then how the hell did they become a state? Did VA just decide it wasn't good enough for the rest of the state, was there a revolt?

Not really...West Virginia was formed when citizens in that part of the state didnt want to secede from the Union with the rest of the Confederacy in the 1860's...just full of tidbits today
