> West Virginia decided to leave Best Virginia
It’s worth noting that West Virginia chose to reject slavery and remain with the Union while the more wealthy slaveowning portion of the state seceded. A proud origin for the West Virginians!
- throwayyy479087 4y agoYeah, for all the shit WV gets, their origin is NOT something to be ashamed of. Virginia was the most powerful and wealthiest state, too - it cost WV greatly to leave. They fought like hell during the war and lost a ton of men. Pretty badass.
