the Confederacy
Virginia seceded from the Union after the Fort Sumter attack because they believed the attack violated the Constitution. They felt slavery was protected by the Constitution and the state. As a slave holding state, they believed an attack on state sovereignty by a federal force was an assault on the freedom of property and political representation.

Well Technically The Civil war started on April 12 1861, The Southern States launched an attack against a Union Fort. Fort Sumter. Even those this was a bloodless battle this is when the war first started. The Union surrender red after 36 hours of fighting. What happened was that the NOrth or Union moved troops to Fort Sumter, this was seen as an act of Hostality and the South retaliated by attacking Fort Sumter. Hope this helps.
Sadly....no it wasn't a union state. It was the first to seceed from the union and at its cause, a battle at fort Sumter stated and began the American civil war at stances. But it is now a union state.
