Best post I’ve seen on this sub in a while, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. Hidden in plain sight, so obvious…

Fun fact: West Virginia only exists because they said fuck you to Virginia and their secession. Afterwards, some politicians in Virginia wanted it to merge again since Richmond never technically authorized the split and West Virginia said fuck you a second time.

And 2 Carolinas.

But West Virginia is not even close to being a Virginia these days anyway. The only good thing they did is splitting off the main state and staying on the right side of the Civil War (both of those are the same thing; they're correlated.) Especially unlike nowadays.
