West Virginia is the
only state in the Union to have acquired its sovereignty by proclamation of the
President of the United States. Statehood was proclaimed by President Abraham
Lincoln in 1863, midway in the most bitter chapter of American history--the
Civil War. Only seven years later, West Virginia's seat of government began
travelling intermittently between Wheeling, site of the inauguration of the
state's first governor, and Charleston, the choice for the state capital.
