The easiest way is to have no ACW. If there is no war there is no WV.
Not necessarily. I've read that West Virginia always wanted to break away from Virginia, and they used the War as an excuse.
I'm pretty sure it'd butterfly the division of the western territories. Plus, 49 = 7*7, so we could easily have a flag with a 7x7 square of stars.No West Virginia might mean the USA has 49 states. Since 49 is not as a nice and complete number as 50, perhaps the USA would push for and make Puerto Rico or Cuba a state sooner.

It's possible the Readjusters control Virginia instead of the Democrats. That would be very interesting.And how would a united Virginia fare after the CW?

Has nothing to do with nice or even numbers. Come August we could very well have 51 states. Does that mean we'll enact our legal claim on Taiwan to round it back out to 52?
Well, their citizens support that and I certainly do, but it's not quite plausible yet.
You know that referendum wouldn't be legally binding right?
