There was never a colony of West Virginia. West Virginia was a part of Virginia from the time the colony of Virginia was founded at Jamestown in 1607 until 1863. In 1863 the Yankees offered the educational lesson that while it is most definitely NOT acceptable for states to secede from the US, it is perfectly acceptable for part of a state to secede after 256 years and set itself up as a new state, and West Virginia was born, without ever having been a colony or a territory.
