During the American Civil War, North Carolina joined the Confederacy with some reluctance, mainly due to the presence of Unionist sentiment within the state. Throughout the war, North Carolina remained a divided state. The population within the Appalachian Mountains in the western part of the state contained large pockets of Unionism. Even so, North Carolina would help contribute a significant amount of troops to the Confederacy, and channel many vital supplies through the major port of Wilmington, in defiance of the Union blockade.

  • During the American Civil War, North Carolina joined the Confederacy with some reluctance, mainly due to the presence of Unionist sentiment within the state. Throughout the war, North Carolina remained a divided state. The population within the Appalachian Mountains in the western part of the state contained large pockets of Unionism. Even so, North Carolina would help contribute a significant amount of troops to the Confederacy, and channel many vital supplies through the major port of Wilmington, in defiance of the Union blockade. Fighting occurred sporadically in the state from September 1861, when Union Major General Ambrose Burnside set about capturing key ports and cities, notably Roanoke Island and New Bern. In 1864, the Confederates assumed the offensive, temporarily reconquering Plymouth, while the Union Army launched several attempts to seize Fort Fisher. The last remaining major Confederate army, under Joseph E. Johnston, surrendered at Bennett Place, near Durham, to William Tecumseh Sherman in April 1865. Troops from North Carolina played major roles in dozens of battles in other states, including Gettysburg, where Tar Heels were prominent in Pickett's Charge. North Carolina would also raise troops to fight in Union regiments. The 3rd North Carolina Cavalry helped take part in the Battle of Bull's Gap, Battle of Red Banks, and Stoneman's 1864 and 1865 raids in western North Carolina, southwest Virginia, and eastern Tennessee. The Department of North Carolina, established in 1862, seized Wilmington in 1865, then the state's largest city. The North Carolina-based XVIII Corps was also among the largest in the Union Army.

  • L'État de Caroline du Nord est une source importante de soldats, de ravitaillement, et de matériels de guerre pour les États confédérés d'Amérique pendant la guerre de Sécession. La ville de Wilmington est un des ports majeurs de la Confédération, maintenant un lien vital commercial avec le Royaume-Uni et les autres pays, spécialement après l'étranglement par le blocus de l'Union de la plupart des autres ports confédérés. De grandes quantités d'armes, de munitions et de fournitures militaires irriguent le Sud à partir de Wilmington. Les troupes de Caroline du Nord jouent un rôle majeur lors de la douzaine de batailles majeures, dont la bataille de Gettysburg, où les Tar Heels jouent un rôle déterminant lors de la charge de Pickett. L'une des dernières principales armées confédérées, celle de Joseph E. Johnston, se rend près de Bennett Place en Caroline du Nord après la campagne des Carolines. (fr)
  • Во время гражданской войны южный штат Северная Каролина была важным источником живой силы и снаряжения для армии Конфедерации. Северокаролинский порт Уилмингтон был одним из важнейших портов страны, через который осуществлялась торговля с Англией и другими европейскими странами.- даже тогда, когда федеральный флот блокировал остальные порты Юга. Северокаролинские боевые соединения играли важную роль во многих сражениях гражданской войны, в том числе под Геттисбергом, где в атаке Пикетта участвовали три северокаролинские бригады. (ru)
