Hello All:

I am having an interesting discussion on another Listserv concerning the
History of Secession.  (1863 in West Virginia)

Does anyone have information concerning this:

1.  When the western counties of Virginia (now West Virginia) seceded, what
was the role of the Virginia General Assembly?

2.  Did the citizens of Virginia vote or were they given the opportunity to
vote for or against West Virginia secession?

3.  Did any court(s) rule secession as legal or illegal?

4.  Any books on the very subject?

Thanks so much,

Regards,
