its_vict is right the state of Virginia had a political division based on the issue of slavery. West Virginia asked permission and received it from the Federal Government to separate from the rest of Virginia and so remain in the Union. Virginia is not the only state to seced, but it is the only state to do so over the issue of Slavery and the American Civil War.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia
“West Virginia broke away from Virginia during the American Civil War and was admitted to the Union as a separate state on June 20, 1863 (an anniversary now celebrated as West Virginia Day in the state). It is the only state formed as a direct result of the American Civil War. It is one of only two states to form by seceding from a pre-existing state, the other being Vermont.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont
“Vermont became the 14th state to join the United States, following a 14-year period during and after the Revolutionary War as the independent Republic of Vermont. Vermont is one of only five U.S. states or parts of states to have once been an independent nation, the other four being California, Hawaii, Texas, and the Florida Parishes of Louisiana.”

Your absolutely correct for once, a house divided can't stand. That is exactly why the Chinese communist system is slowly and steadily dying each day. Which explains why the CCP must keep such a tight leash on its people so that the whole country doesn't fall apart. If they didn't keep a constant state of martial law the government would have collapsed by now, and the ROC would have returned 30-40 years ago. Just like with the America the rebelling governing body, (in America's case the Confederacy, in China's case the CCP) should reunite with original government and strengthen the country instead of tearing it apart even more. Shouldn't China's CCP overlords accept the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln and reunify with the Republic of China? Taiwan as never been apart of the PRC and constantly saying "reunify" doesn't make the word a magic wand that will rewrite history to make it true.

I don't think it was Virginia, because West Virginia was part of the Confederacy with Virgina.
I think it was Missouri. It was a slave state, but it was above the Mason-Dixon line, and did not secede with the rest of the south.

It was Virginia as the previous responder said. West Va. was a free territory and Virginia was slave.
