Here’s Professor William Hal Gorby giving a pretty good lecture on how West Virginia broke from Virginia and became a state.
The video’s description reads, “West Virginia University professor William Gorby taught a class on the formation of West Virginia and its entry into the Union during the Civil War. West Virginia University is located in Morgantown.”
