    On this day -- June 20th -- in 1863 during the American Civil War, the western, pro-Unionist part of Virginia became the 35th state of the United States.
    Originally called "Kanawah", West Virginia entered on the Union side of the "War Between the States" (or, as commonly known by many Virginians, the "War of Northern Aggression").
    "WV" was carved from the western mountainous trans-Allegheny part of the then-Confederate state, Virginia -- essentially, it seceded from Virginia, which had previously seceded from the US in 1861.
    West Virginia has played little known, yet crucial military and political roles -- before, during, and after the Civil War.
    Accordingly, our 3 questions tonight are about Civil War (West) Virginia.
    Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.   
    So how do we know so much about Civil War (West) Virginia?

       ++ Tonight's Topic: "Happy Birthday, WEST VIRGINIA!" ++
Question #1: In 1859, before the American Civil War started, the radical abolitionist John Brown led a raid against the federal arsenal strategically located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. As the commanding US Marine Colonel, Robert E. Lee led the assault on Brown's gang and recaptured the arsenal. What is the arsenal's name?
        A. Harpers Ferry, or
        B. Harper Valley (PTA), or
        C. Antietam
Question #2: During his very first campaign as a Confederate battlefield commander, Robert E. Lee failed even to "bring the Yankees to battle" and oust them from western Virginia. Before his later reputation as the "Greatest Confederate Commander" could be established, Lee's nickname by Southern newspapers was what?
        A. "Granny Lee", or
        B. "Git outta here, Missy Lee", or
        C. "Give Up & Giddy Up Lee"
Question #3: Prior to Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclaimation resolution on January 1, 1863, the United States Congress had already passed a bill a month earlier which required emancipation as a condition of West Virginia's statehood -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
