Changes

Is the only state formed because of the [[American Civil War]]. Its split from Virginia because of the slave issue. The people from Virgina wanted to secede from the Union, while many counties in West Virginia wanted to remain a part of the Union, and thus secede from Virginia. Sometimes called "Wild and Wonderful", "Wild and Woolly", West Virginia is perhaps most beloved when called by that nickname "West-''by-God''".
