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.

I would say Virginia was showing loyalty to herself, not the Confederacy. Being part of the Confederacy was all well and good but the seizing of the Harper's Ferry Armory was in VA's self interest which happen to also align with the CSA's interest.

What you Neo Yankee thugs fail to realize that the USA was actually a real republic at one point. You are looking at the 19th century thru a 21st century lens. You all seem so foolish....
