W. Virginia sent half of her men to the Confederacy, and half to union.
WV was born in 1863 out of counties that wanted to remain in union.

[Verginius Rufus]

The people who wanted to separate from Virginia got to decide which counties to include. Many of the people in the southern counties of WV still considered themselves citizens of Virginia, fought for the Confederacy, and did not take part in the 1864 US election.

If you search Robinette in Maryland you come up with a bunch of murders

Did he challenge him to a push up contest?

Or was it let’s go behind the barracks, jack!?

[gleeaikin]

According to the article he was attacked by a much larger man, a teamster, in a bar. He defended himself with a penknife.
