I knew that all of the above had slaves, except for W. Va. -- didn't it secede from VA because it didn't want slaves?

I think it was more that W VA opposed secession from the Union. I think it had some slaves but many of the men who would have opposed secession from VA were already with the Confederate army and didn't vote.
