It's cool when youve been to it and you know what WV is like. So nothing wrong with that obviously.

But just the idea of "Uh... Let's call ourselves something else. Uhhhhh I know. WEST Virginia."

Really dumb

Do you feel the same about South Dakota and South Carolina or do you just hate the East/West splits?

Makes sense in the context of the Civil War. Especially in that area of the country, right at the dividing line between the Confederacy and the Union.

At the time of their statehood, they also considered Appalachia, Kanawha, Vandalia, Kanawha, and Western Virginia, though they should've considered an earlier suggested name of Westlyvania imho.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Isn't it called West Virginia because it broke off main Virginia to stay with the Union during the civil war? Or am I misremembering that?

The Dakotas are allowed because they are definitely gonna fight to the death one day.

Like, the entire populations of both states simultaneously.

Could have been Vandalia or Westylvania.

But other colonies blocked those.

In other words, WV, KY, western PA tried to make their own colonies-states but failed.

Oh and as WV native.

Dear East coast elites, West Virginia is a state. Western Virginia is part of Virginia.
