The mountain people of Virginia's Western counties had always resented their humble status, harvesting crops on rock-bottom money to feed the prosperous coastal towns.
Like many other Virginians, they were not happy when the state voted Confederate, and they decided to secede from Virginia.
They were declared a state of the Union in 1863 - a welcome piece of news for the beleaguered Lincoln.
