My great great great grandfather Madison Stamper fought in the 37th North Carolina. He was there at many battles but most infamously at Pickett’s charge, where he was wounded in the leg.
Two of my great great grandfathers Elisha Thomas Felton 4th North Carolina Infantry Company F and the other Wiley H Robbins (Sergeant) 30th North Carolina Infantry Company I.
Are we not going to mention Burnside’s coastal campaign, Sherman’s Carolinas campaign and occupation of Raleigh, or even the fact that more confederate troops hailed from NC than any other state. Not to mention that North Carolina borders not 3, not 5, but 4 (four, IV) states, and has done so since June 1st, 1796 upon the incorporation of Tennessee as a US state, joining Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina.
My kin Koonce’s State Guerillas” organized in late April 1862 by Captain Francis Duval Koonce, a law professor [and perhaps kin] from Onslow County. The company included men from Jones and Onslow Counties and was mustered into State service at Jones County on 22 July 1862, with orders to “operate east of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail Road between the Neuse and Cape Fear rivers” to protect the rail line from enemy marauders. In late September 1862 the company was assigned to the 59th North Carolina Regiment, which shortly thereafter became Company K, 61st North Carolina. The 61st saw much action around Richmond and Petersburg, and ended the war in North Carolina at the defenses of Wilmington and Bentonville.
I'm from Maryland and now I live in North Carolina. I love this state and its citizens. North Carolina, I salute you.

My people
In the Mountains of Western North Carolina, you find many that fought for the Union.
Heck yes, rarely recognised.
Same thing for north Georgia, eastern Tennessee as well.
Southern Unionists in general are often overlooked unfairly.
@1973 thunderbirds Kentucky wasn’t in the confederacy
@1973 thunderbirds I believe Kentucky was split but for the most part it was union
