They were not one of the first states to secede, and many respected senior Virginians such as Robert E. Lee hoped they wouldn't. But the decision to make Richmond the capital of the Confederacy must have raised some people's morale.
The Western counties disapproved of secession so strongly that they re-joined the Union, forming their own new state of West Virginia - a most welcome gift to Lincoln in mid-war.
The film 'Shenandoah' with Jimmy Stewart illustrates pretty much how local farming families viewed the war, with its many campaigns that increasingly ravaged and impoverished the state of Virginia.
