I would say that the eventual formation of West Virginia also constitutes a
"significant public outcry . . . against secession."  I would highly
recommend Dan Crofts' book "Reluctant Confederates" on secession in the
upper South.  If I remember correctly, the decision to secede was never put
to a popular vote in Virginia.  What was the case in the other southern
states?
