West Virginia was originally part of the State of Virginia. After Virginia seceded and joined the Confederacy, West Virginia seceded from Virginia and joined the Union as a new State.

West Virginia broke off from Virgina, and was admitted to the Union, as a slave state, in June 1863, and did not secede from the Union. West Virginia broke off from Virginia because there was heavy dispute amongst the counties, which became West Virginia and Virginia, regarding the issue of secession.
