AHC: West Virginia reunites with Virginia

Be kind of difficult to accomplish. West Virginia seceded due to being a stronghold of Unionist sentiment by comparison to the more eastern parts of Virginia, which were more pro-Confederate. I'm sure it could be done, but the challenge is getting around the class issues that motivated the formation of West Virginia in the first place, and reforming class in the South....:eek:
 
If you are talking post OTL Civil War, you could make it a constitutional issue. The US Constitution clearly states that no new states shall be formed from existing states. That argument could be pushed through the court system and have the state re-united that way.
