Rogue State chronicles how West Virginia entered-and remains-in the
Union under unconstitutional circumstances. Its severance from
Virginia and reincorporation as a new state in 1863 occurred
outside the bounds of constitutional legality. The United States
government, while pledged to prevent the secession of eleven states
from the Union, nevertheless condoned, abetted, supported, and
ultimately affirmed secession of fifty counties without permission
from Virginia. This unprecedented and unconstitutional process
marks the only time in American history that a state was created
and admitted to the Union outside the boundaries of the prescribed
constitutional process. Lincoln's attorney general even declared
the process unconstitutional. Though secession was not permitted
for states or parts of states by the U.S. Constitution, the U.S.
government produced a facade of legality and constitutionality in
1863 to justify the secession of a part of one state to form
another.
