West Virgina formed by breaking away from Virginia and joining the Union. That makes them Yankees.
interesting, my good friend lives in w virginia, family there since the 1700's. His great uncle was a confederate general.
West Vigina joined the union in 63, they were a break off part, you know the west labia.
There were guys from NY that fought on the CSA side, guess that makes NY a southern state, following your logic?
