Western Virginia was very different from Virginia they were against slavery ,on October 16, john brown led araid at Harper ferry and some followers captured the united states arsenal, Harper ferry is were they make guns an stored them .Brown planned on giving these guns to the slaves in Virginia and Maryland so the slaves will have freedom. so Virginia had no slaves and Virginia was mad and Virginia and Western was spited up and it became west Virginia and was 35th state.:)
