[@zachruffin3701]

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.

[@Braves21]

Zach Ruffin Fort Fisher and the siege of Wilmington, lots of great information left on the table

[@beycat6507]

No is was actually Virginia with an estimate 175000 NC 129,000

[@herodotus7]

Ha. No mention of John Gibbon. Polk and Bragg were arguably Louisianians.

[@ANIMIST-4-GOD]

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.

In the Mountains of Western North Carolina, you find many that fought for the Union.

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

Heck yes, rarely recognised.

[@redboy09100]

Same thing for north Georgia, eastern Tennessee as well.

[@georgelabe-assimo4365]

Southern Unionists in general are often overlooked unfairly.
