Answer 2

West Virginia

Step-by-step explanation:

West Virginia was founded when they decided to secede from Virginia who was seceded from the Union, it was akey state since it was the most southern state from the Union and then counties from North and West Virginia decided not to secede and instead create a new State that was part of the Union, in a weird election to decided if they stayed with Virginia or went to the Union, the Union won but with the Union troops too close to the polls to actually say that there were fair elections.
