How come West Virginia is in that map of the Confedracy? They did not want anything to do with the slave empire. I thought the freedom loving Confederates just wanted to be left alone and didn’t want conflict.

Hmm.
Mouse kangaroo, I thought secession was unlawful?
Just more Unionist hypocrisy! How did West Virginia come about?

In the Victorian district in Wheeling, there is still a fraternal org that honors one of them. West Virginia's secession from Virginia was rife with fraud, as Lincoln did not want a Confederate state north of DC (which was understandable).
