Riddleberger Act

Riddleberger Act
A Virginia statute passed in 1882, whereby it was proposed to reduce the bonded indebtedness of the state, because West Virginia had been carved out of it; and West Virginia flatly declined to assume any portion of the debt, chiefly because its people claimed that all the money had been spent in the other state.
