West Virginia - Civil War Map

The year is 1861; the assault on Fort Sumter has caused President Lincoln to call for volunteers to put down the southern insurrection. In the wake of this action the Virginia legislator voted to secede from the Union and take up arms against the invading Union army. However, not all Virginians sympathized with the rebel cause. The western mountain counties of Virginia convened at Wheeling and decided to secede from their own state and remain loyal to the union. This has been a disastrous blow to the moral and strategic situation of the newly formed Confederate States of America. The vital railways that link the eastern and western theatres run directly through West Virginia. These railways are essential to moving men and material to the battlefield. George B McClellan has realized this and quickly set out to secure the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad. His surprise victory at Philippi has given the "Young Napoleon" a strong advantage. But the Rebels aren't giving up so easily. A new confederate general is on the scene, Robert E. Lee, and he's ready to reverse the losses and return West Virginia into the hands of the Confederacy. In no other part of the country was the old adage "Brother vs. Brother" truer than in West Virginia. The struggle has just begun!
