Reading through the 'Why Did Virginia Secede?' tread - https://civilwartalk.com/threads/why-did-virginia-secede.140993/ - brought up a question for me.

If for whatever reason Virginia did not secede, would that have effected NC's decision made a month later? She would no longer be surrounded by Confederate States. If she still went ahead, she would no longer have a buffer between her and the Union but would be a border state and perhaps the site of the many battles that took place in Virginia. And yes I realize that not many were taking the long view and thought the war would be over quickly so this probably would be part of the equation.

Cheers,
USS ALASKA
