Most residents of the western counties of the Commonwealth of Virginia did not want to seceed from the Union. After the Civil War began, those counties broke away from Virginia and were admitted to the Union as the state of West Virginia. Nevada also owes its creation to that bloody conflict and it boasts this fact in the state flag, It was created out of Utah and became the 36th US State on 31 October 1864.
