Best Answer

Yes, Virginia was a major Confederate state, and the scene of many battles.

It was not among the first to break away from the USA, and many prominent Virginian politicians and soldiers, including Robert E. Lee, hoped it wouldn't.

But many, including Lee, placed their first loyalty with their state, and when it voted Confederate, they supported the South.
