History

Answer:

In Virginia, secession was so extreme that it was divided into two separate states, one slave and the other free.

Explanation:

In the 1800s, the State of Virginia was socially divided. It was a hinge state, which shared ideologies with the south of the country, but whose northern part was totally overturned on the northern side. It was a state that accepted slavery, where 3 out of 10 inhabitants were slaves, but where the abolitionist movement had had a great influence (for example, in the Harpers Ferry Raid), with which the state of tension was evident.

At the time of Lincoln's election in 1860, the state governor was John Letcher, who hardly knew the southern secessionist movement, did not hesitate to accompany him. Thus, Virginia left the Union on April 17, 1861. When this happened, abolitionists in the northwest part of the state began to carry out massive protests and campaigns against the state government. Finally, political tension caused West Virginia to separate from Virginia on June 20, 1863, leaving the Confederacy and joining the Union with Republican Arthur Boreman as governor.

How did Jefferey Dahmer get caught?
egoroff_w [7]

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, police officers spot Tracy Edwards running down the street in handcuffs, and upon investigation, they find one of the grisliest scenes in modern history-Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment.

Edwards told the police that Dahmer had held him at his apartment and threatened to kill him. Although they initially thought the story was dubious, the officers took Edwards back to Dahmer’s apartment. Dahmer calmly explained that the whole matter was simply a misunderstanding and the officers almost believed him. However, they spotted a few Polaroid photos of dismembered bodies, and Dahmer was arrested.

When Dahmer’s apartment was fully searched, a house of horrors was revealed. In addition to photo albums full of pictures of body parts, the apartment was littered with human remains: Several heads were in the refrigerator and freezer; two skulls were on top of the computer; and a 57-gallon drum containing several bodies decomposing in chemicals was found in a corner of the bedroom. There was also evidence to suggest that Dahmer had been eating some of his victims.


I hope that help :)
