    3. Let's see...Kansas actually entered the union January 29, 1861 - just a couple of months before the first shots were fired at Sumter. However, South Carolina had already seceded the previous December...So I tend to include Kansas along with West Virginia...lol.

    3. But, Will, what were the reasons behind the formation of Kansas? I am not familiar with them, so please enlighten me. The formation of West Virginia was a direct result of the war. Most (but not all) of the citizens did not want to secede.

    3. I'm not sure what the reasons for the formation of Kansas were, other than enough folks had settled the area for it to qualify for statehood. Other than that, it could have been the sectional violence over the slavery issue immediately prior to the War. I do know that Quantrel's boys attacked Lawrence, Kansas, not long after it entered the Union.
