The American Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, was fought from April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865. The war was fought between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. It is the largest internal conflict in United States history, and is the war that cost the greatest number of lives, with over 618,000 Americans killed on both sides.
Political, economic, and social issues led seven states in the Southeastern US to secede from the United States in February 1861 to form the Confederate States of America, as a seperate nation. After hostilities began in April 1861, four other states joined the CSA. North Carolina was the second-to-last state to join the Confederacy in May of 1861.
For various reasons, North Carolina did not see as many military campaigns take place in the state until late in the war, with the exception of a few isolated naval campaigns to take coastal forts. However, North Carolina troops did serve in the war. There are legends from the troops' ability to hold their ground during the war that changed the use of the term "Tar Heel" from insult to badge of honor for North Carolinians.
There are 236 names on the memorial from the Civil War. |
