36. West Virginia wanted to be distinguished from "Virginia"

Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 02:16 PM by cosmicdot

East Virginia and West Virginia may not have made the distinction clear

an example of how geography can affect politics, government, socio-economic differences, etc.

I'm a born and bred Virginian.

West Virginia just had had enough of the Piedmont and Tidewater fat cats ...

Actually, I wrote a term paper on the geopolitcs of the split-up for one of my college courses.
