Two states achieved statehood during the US Civil War, West Virginia on June 20, 1863, and Nevada, on October 31, 1864. Of the two only West Virginia can be considered to have been created without previously being a US Territory as was the case of Nevada. Several counties of northwestern Virginia seceded from the state and remained loyal to the Union cause and gained its status during the war.
