West Virginia
South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union on December 20, 1860.
West Virginia. This established that it was just fine for part of a state to secede from its state, but it was NOT fine for states to secede from the US. West Virginia had been a part of Virginia since the colony was created in 1607.
There was no official way that a state could secede, so the question was tested by the Civil War. That war determined that a state could not secede. There is a possible exception to this, as many people believe the Constitution of the State of Vermont retains the right for that state to secede.
No, Missouri did not secede during the Civil War. Although there were divided loyalties within the state, Missouri remained in the Union throughout the war. However, there were Confederate supporters and factions within the state, leading to internal conflicts and guerilla warfare.
That was West Virginia, which sceded from Virginia.
West Virginia and it was seceded from a Confederate state on April 17, 1861.
That would be West Virginia. Virginia's northwesternmost counties did not wish to secede when the state's legislature voted to do so.
