Then how do you explain West Virginia?There were TWO groups claiming to be the duly constituted legislature of Virginia. Congress listened to the group that wasn't shooting at US troops.

I know how to explain West Virginia: Lincoln cared very little for following the Constitution. He supported the only unconstitutional secession that ever occurred, yet opposed the legal and moral secession of the Southern states.
