North Carolina

North Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States of America. It borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The state's capital is Raleigh and its largest city is Charlotte.

The state was one of the original 13 colonies, and the home of the first English colony in the New World. (This colony, founded in 1587, only survived for about three years.) It became the 12th state to to ratify the United States Constitution on November 21, 1789.

It was a slave state in 1860, with a relatively small slave population. It held off on joining the Confederate States until President Abraham Lincoln called on it to invade its sister-state, South Carolina. The state was the site of few battles, but it provided at least 125,000 troops to the Confederacy — more than any other Confederate state.

North Carolina in The Guns of the South[]

North Carolina seceded from the Union during the Second American Revolution and became part of the Confederacy.

In 1864, it became the home of the paramilitary group which became known as America Will Break. They set up their headquarters in a town called Rivington, from which they produced the AK-47 which gave the Confederacy victory in the Second American Revolution.

The "Rivington Men" attempted to dominate the Confederacy through politics. This was unsuccessful, as Confederate Party candidate Robert E. Lee won the 1867 presidential election over AWB's champion and Patriot Party candidate Nathan Bedford Forrest. Lee even carried North Carolina in a popular margin of 55,223 to 41,489 and won its 12 electoral votes^[3]. Then the AWB rose up in revolt, which had a negative effect for them, as the Confederacy attacked and destroyed the Rivington headquarters.

Zebulon Vance, the Governor of North Carolina for most of the 1860s, enforced President Lee's emergency proclamation of martial law, and mobilized the state's Army divisions for the final drive against AWB.
