So my question is on what basis do you claim Virginia was a “loyal state” on which the USA waged (we won’t quibble about “declared”) war? If waging war on the US and joining a confederacy that officially is at war with the US constitutes being a “loyal state,” what would a state have to do to be “disloyal” in your book?

I wonder how King George III would have answered that question.

Well, AFAIK, nobody is claiming that Virginia was loyal to King George.

You are claiming that Virginia was still loyal to the Union when federal troops invaded on May 24, 1861. I’d like to see your explanation of why the State deserved to be described as “loyal” on that date.
