The mountain people in Virginia's western counties had always felt different to the rest of the state, and when Virginia narrowly voted Confederate, the Westerners planned to secede from Virginia.
There was only a little slavery in West Virginia, so it didn't worry Lincoln when they quit the Confederacy and joined the Union.
