The secession of the Western Counties of Virginia from the Confederate State of Virginia.
The secession of West Virginia from Virginia (if this is for HW trust me it's right...My teacher was giving us a whole lecture about this last week!)
They wanted to form their own state, which was allowed if a majority of the citizens wanted to separate from Virginia. Also, the creation of the state helped the Union by gaining control of important railroads.
The capture of Atlanta, Georgia, and then the capture of Savannah, Georgia, and the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, were all important factors. Additionally, General Sherman's victory in Atlanta helped Abraham Lincoln win re-election in 1864.
The Union was victorious at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Battle of Gettysburg was a key battle that helped the Union win the Civil War. It certainly helped, however, the North failed to stop the Army of Northern Virginia to keep on fighting until early 1865.
Virginia was admitted into the Union on June 25, 1788 becoming the 10th state to join the union.

West Virginia did not secede from the Union. However, they did secede from Virginia when Virginia seceded from the Union.
After the first seven states seceded, Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers, and this provoked four more states (including Virginia) into seceding.

Yes but when West Virginia was admitted to the Union, it was considered a "border state". West Virginia broke off from Virgina, and was admitted to the Union, as a slave state, in June 1863, and did not secede from the Union. West Virginia broke off from Virginia because there was heavy dispute amongst the counties, which became West Virginia and Virginia, regarding the issue of secession.
