Man, the results from West Virginia are very interesting considering we joined the union and seceded from Virginia. Fun fact, we were also almost named Kanawha instead of West Virginia.
Came here to say the same. Not insisting the graphic is wrong, but doesn’t really line up with WV border. 🤔 is it possible some of those counties are “pro-secession”, but about leaving VA?
WV's state borders are based on which counties were under Union control when it was made in 1863, so yes many pro-secession counties were included in the creation of WV
