When did West Virginia secede from the Union?
It didn't. When Virginia seceded from the Union, the Western counties disapproved of this, and seceded from Virginia. In 1863, they joined the USA as a free-soil state of their own.{ EDIT: West VA was not a "free-soil" state. Entering the Union in June of 1863, WVA has the dubious distinction of being the last slave state admitted. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation six months prior excluded those western counties of VA of freeing their slaves. See "History of slavery in West Virginia"; note the "Willey Amendment".}
