States are admitted to the Union only with the consent of the other states through a vote in Congress. Once they have been allowed to join, they cannot split into two or more states, combine with any other state, even change their border by a fraction of an inch without the approval of the other states through a vote in Congress.

Its funny you mention that...are you aware of the background of the creation of the state of West Virginia? Now, that was almost unquestionably an illegal, unconstitutional act orchestrated by pro-Union forces to punish the state of Virginia.

Yes. Are you?

Now, that was almost unquestionably an illegal, unconstitutional act orchestrated by pro-Union forces to punish the state of Virginia.

In your opinion.
