         The Union government begs to differ.

         Again, the Union government would not agree. From their 
perspective, this invalidates the partion of Virginia without her consent. 
The Confederate government would concur, but for different reasons.

         You should read the relevant documents in regards to the Supreme 
Court challenge to the existence of West Virginia. The Federal (Union) 
government's arguments contain the line, "The action [dividing VA] is not 
Constitutional, but it is necessary."
