The West Virginia Sesquicentennial is coming up in a few years and you can bet that the Statehood Center in Wheeling is gearing up an onslaught of lies and distortion it doesn't read very well if the truth where told West Virginia was created when a group of men with the aid of the Yankee army decided to create a state for themselves without the sanction of citizens depriving two-thirds of the state from voting once the war was over they stripped the civil rights their former enemies and created a virtual military dictatorship which became known as West Virginia.
