[Answer] Which U.S. state was created as a result of the Civil War?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which U.S. state was created as a result of the Civil War?"



...West Virginia was created during the American Civil War when the northwestern counties of Virginia opposed their state’s decision to secede from the Union in 1861. Delegates from these Union-loyal counties organized a separate government and sought admission to the United States as a new state. After approval by Congress and President Abraham Lincoln, West Virginia officially became the 35th state on June 20, 1863.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which man was born on the same exact day as Abraham Lincoln?"

Both lost their mothers at a young age: Darwin at 8 and Lincoln at 9. One was born in a log cabin in Kentucky to poor parents, the other in a country estate to a wealthy British family. The two never met. But they both changed the most basic ways that people viewed human existence and helped bring about a new era in the history of human thought.
