Oh, I feel dumb--I should have thought of West Virginia since I knew Virginia split during the Civil war. But I never knew the details of why so TIL! Thanks for the link!

    Hey at least you know we exist. Once I was in the Miami airport and a very young woman kept staring at my ID, then me, on and on. Finally she says why does it say West Virginia. When I told her it was a real state she acted pretty embarrassed.

    Wow. I've heard about things like that happening to people from New Mexico, but never WV! Don't kids have to memorize all the state capitals in school any more? I may not remember all the capitals now but at least I remember all the states!
