is now West Virginia as early as
1719. and a few years later cabins
were being built. After 1735. South

to help New England and the Mid

nornically the two sections were un-
like from the very beginning. West
ern Virginia was democratic while
eastern Virginia was aristocratic.
The idea of separation was fore
most long before the Civil war.
When war broke out between the
states in 1861, there were bound to
be repercussions through the en-
tire state. Eastern Virginia was the
heart of the Confederacy. Western
Virginia was opposed to secession.
The long desired separation was ef-
