  2. the glorified horse soldiers often most closely associated with the knights of the Middle Ages. Often arrogant or cocky, these soldiers are used to out-flank enemy infantry or artillery units.

  4. the easternmost region of Virginia defined by the river valleys that drain to the Chesapeake Bay.
  5. T. Willey- Statehood proponent and strong supporter of the Unionist message, Willey, along with Pierpont, is often called “the Father of West Virginia.” As one of Restored Virginia’s two senators, Willey introduced the WV statehood bill into the US Senate and authored the compromise, later called the Willey Amendment, which gained congressional support for WV statehood.
  6. of Cheat Mountain- General Robert E. Lee’s abortive attempt to defeat General John Reynolds and recapture the Kanawha Valley.

Lee was removed from his command soon after.
  7. Government of Virginia- The loyal government created, but not elected, in Wheeling by pro-Union factions from across Virginia. It claimed to act on behalf of all Virginia in order to meet eligibility requirements to severe the western counties from Virginia to form West Virginia, as required under the Constitution.
  8. Amendment- A provision adopted by Congress as proposed by Restored Virginia Senator Waitman T. Willey to address slavery and free black immigrants in West Virginia.

Carlile, a strict constitutionalist, did not believe Congress had the right to dictate terms of a state’s constitution, so he opposed any alterations, including the Willey Amendment which was necessary to gain congressional approval.

  9. in American politics (only), this is synonymous with vote or referendum.
