Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

East Tennesseans, led by Unionist leaders like Andrew Johnson and William G. 'Parson' Brownlow, attempted to separate from Tennessee and even sent representatives to the federal government to gain support for their cause. They wanted to form a separate, Union-aligned state, similar to what West Virginia would eventually achieve. However, Tennessee's state government, which was controlled by Confederate sympathizers, quickly suppressed this movement and then imposed martial law to prevent any organized rebellion.

While I understand the many reasons why they broke in 2, doesn’t the U. S. constitution specifically forbid the formation of a new state out of an existing state So possibly, the formation of West Virginia was unconstitutional. Yes, it happened during the Civil War, with both areas having different allegiances and ideologies, but the SCOTUS could have ordered them back together again when the war ended.

As a native West Virginian it is worth noting that West Virginia was admitted to the union as a slave state with the provision that it would abolish slavery in the near future. Also to hear non-West Virginians trying to pronounce Kanawha is always good for a laugh. Your attempt at pronouncing it was laughable.

The government of Virginia did not secede, the people of Virginia did through conventions and referendum. West Virginia had no love for blacks. Like many anti-slavery regions, their biggest objection was the prescense of blacks on their soil. This video is garbage.

As my mother language is Spanish, i am bot sure if i get this correct. Does the last 20 seconds of the video mean that the current republican party is the antislavery, whereas the confederacy would be the current democrat party ideas

The first successful European settlement in the future USA territory was in Florida. The current States are including lands colonized by different European powers, not just by British

Actually in the 70s, 80s and 90s all the way until mid 2000s, West Virginia voted mostly Democrat while Virginia voted mostly Republican. Until they shifted again in 2008

Williamsburg was the first capital of Virginia and the governor’s palace is still there. They moved the capital to Richmond after the attack on Yorktown

Nothing about the origins of Kentucky The Great Compromise There weren’t only two states that originated from the Virginia colony.

Each State gets senate and house reps. Rockefeller got to be a Senetor, cheaper than bribing one. just saying. worth considering.
