West Virginia History
The eastern counties of West Virginia, particularly Harpers Ferry, suffered the most from the war. The city, which was of strategic importance due to its geographical position, the railway passing through it, and also because of the large arsenal located in it, changed hands eight times during the war years.
The echoes of the war that split the country influenced the residents of the “Mountain State” for a long time to come. The feud between the families living on the two banks of the Tag Fore River went down in the history of the United States: the McCoys from Kentucky and the Hatfields from West Virginia.
This terrible story began in 1865, when Harmon McCoy, a soldier of the northern army, who was fired due to a wound, was killed. Suspicion of the murder fell on a member of the Hatfield clan, Jim Vance, whose sympathies during the war years were given to the Confederacy, but his guilt was not proven, and in the end no one was ever held accountable. In 1880, the animosity that already existed between the families sharply escalated due to the murder of a witness by the McCoys who spoke in court on a property dispute in favor of the Hatfields. Added fuel to the fire and a romantic love story between the “Juliet of the Mountains” Suzanne McCoy and Johnson Hatfield. The bloody vendetta continued until 1891, killing eleven people from both families and injuring several more. Only after the intervention of the authorities, the confrontation was stopped.
