“The mountains of Western North Carolinawould be the center of the Confederacy; we shall then have one of the most prosper-ous countries in the world. It will becomeconnected with every part of the South by railroad. It will then become the centerof manufacturing for the Southern market[and] the place where the southern peoplewill spend their money, educate their children, and very probably make laws for the nation.”

From the beginning of the CivilWar until its end, the proximity of the national capitals—Wash-ington, D.C., and Richmond, Vir-
ginia—made the Eastern Seaboard a cen-ter of military activity. Union blood wasfirst shed in the Baltimore Riots of April19, 1861, and some of the last Confederatecasualties of the war fell in North Caroli-na four years later. The tides of war sweptover Maryland, Virginia, and North Car-olina again and again.
Confederate President JeffersonDavis directed a defensive war at first.When U.S. forces marched into northernVirginia in July 1861, the result was astunning Confederate victory at ManassasJunction. The Federals fared better alongthe northeastern coast of North Carolina,where Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside defeatedConfederate gunboats and land forces.
Gen. George B. McClellan led a mas-sive U.S. army up the Peninsula againstRichmond in the spring of 1862, but Con-federate Gen. Robert E. Lee repulsed itnear the city limits in the Seven Days’Battles in June. In the Shenandoah Valley,meanwhile, Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall”Jackson defeated several Union armiesbefore joining Lee at Richmond. Together,
the generals marched north and bested Gen.John Pope’s force at the Second Battle of Manas-sas in August. Lee then invaded western Mary-land to rally support, supply his army, and gainforeign recognition for the Confederacy. Hishopes were dashed at Antietam Creek on Sep-tember 17, 1862, the bloodiest day in Americanhistory, and he retreated to Virginia.
President Abraham Lincoln soon issued theEmancipation Proclamation, making the conflicta war for freedom as well as for the preservationof the Union. Freedmen and escaped slavesthroughout the East flocked to the Union colorsand joined regiments of United States ColoredTroops (USCTs).
In 1863, after Lee’s victory at Chancel-lorsville in May and the death of Jackson, Leemarched north again through Maryland andinto Pennsylvania. When he confronted UnionGen. George G. Meade’s army at Gettysburg, theConfederate tide was turned back again. NorthCarolinians, meanwhile, experienced both con-ventional and unconventional warfare. Near thecoast, Federal expeditions disrupted Confeder-ate supply lines, temporarily disabled railroads,and destroyed manufacturing centers. In thewestern mountains, neighbor fought neighboras Unionists and Confederates conducted abloody “war within a war.”
Union commander-in-chief Gen. Ulysses S.Grant launched simultaneous attacks in thespring of 1864 against the Confederatesthroughout the South. He accompanied Meade’sarmy in Virginia during the Overland Cam-paign, maneuvered Lee ever closer to Richmond,and finally besieged him there and at Peters-burg. A succession of Federal commanderspressed Confederate forces in the ShenandoahValley and laid waste to the “Breadbasket of theConfederacy.” Gen. Philip H. Sheridan eventual-ly swept the Shenandoah clear of Confederatesunder Gen. Jubal A. Early. In southwestern Vir-ginia, eastern Tennessee, and western NorthCarolina, Union cavalry raided salt works andrailroads. Gen. William T. Sherman, in the Deep

STONEMAN’S RAID
On March 24, 1865, Union Gen. GeorgeStoneman led 6,000 cavalrymen from Ten-
nessee into western North Carolina and south-western Virginia to disrupt the Confederatesupply line by destroying sections of the Vir-ginia and Tennessee Railroad, the North Car-olina Railroad, and the Piedmont Railroad. He also sought to liberate Union prisoners-of-war held in Salisbury and hoped to deprivethe Confederate armies of supplies, cut offavenues of retreat, and encourage Unionists in western and central North Carolina.
Stoneman struck at Boone on March 28,then divided his force and sent part into Vir-ginia on April 2; it returned to North Carolinaa week later. On April 12, the Federals occu-pied Salisbury and burned the already aban-doned prison, as well as public buildings,industrial structures, and supply depots.Stoneman moved west the next day, dividinghis command again in the face of limitedresistance. Other than a fight at SwannanoaGap, Stoneman and his cavalrymen encoun-tered only bushwhackers and isolated groupsof Confederate soldiers.
Stoneman’s forces approached Ashevilleon April 23, negotiated a truce, and rodethrough the streets on April 26, while Con -federate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston surren-dered to Union Gen. William T. Sherman nearDurham. Two days later, part of Stoneman’sforce returned to Asheville to loot. Otherelements either continued to Tennessee orjoined the pursuit of Confederate PresidentJefferson Davis into Georgia. Stoneman’sRaid had ended.
CAROLINAS CAMPAIGN
On December 21, 1864, Union Gen. WilliamT. Sherman completed his “March to the
Sea”and captured Savannah, Georgia. He soonheaded north through the Carolinas, planningultimately to link his army with those thatUnion general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant accom-panied in Virginia.
Sherman marched into South Carolinaon February 1, 1865. Confederate Gen. JosephE. Johnston concentrated his forces in centralNorth Carolina. Sherman divided his armyinto left and right wings and entered the TarHeel State early in March. Union Gen. John M.Schofield’s troops, en route to Goldsboro fromWilmington, repulsed Confederate Gen. Brax-ton Bragg’s forces at Wyse Fork near Kinstonon March 8–10.
Sherman occupied Fayetteville the nextday, then marched north. On March 16, Con-federate Gen. William J. Hardee delayed Sher-man’s left wing near Averasboro. Johnstonattacked Sherman three days later at Ben-tonville, where the Confederates at first routedthe lead Federal division. The twoUnionwingsthen merged and almost severed Johnston’sline of retreat on March 21. He withdrewtoward Smithfield that night, and Shermanreached Goldsboro and Schofield on March 23.
Sherman advanced toward Raleigh onApril 10, while Johnston retreated to Greens-boro. Learning of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s April 9surrender at Appomattox Court House, theycame to terms on April 26 at Bennett Placenear Durham after much negotiation. John-ston surrendered almost 90,000 Confederatetroops in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.
RAIDS AGAINST THE LIFELINE
North Carolina’s factories supplied Con -federate armies with shoes, clothing,
weapons, and other necessities during thewar. In addition, ships loaded with Euro-pean goods ran the Union blockade of theSouthern coastline to such ports as Wilm-ington, North Carolina, guarded by FortFisher. A network of rail lines, especiallythe Wilmington and Weldon Railroad andthe Petersburg Railroad (also called theWeldon Railroad), transported supplies toGen. Robert E. Lee’s army in Virginia.
After Federal forces occupied most ofNorth Carolina’s barrier islands and coast-line in 1862, they attacked the state’s rail-roads, factories, and naval facilities. InDecember 1862, Union Gen. John G. Fostermarched from New Bern to Goldsboro andburned the Wilmington and Weldon Rail-road bridge. Union Gen. Edward E. Potter,raiding from New Bern in July 1863,destroyed mills, trains, and bridges, includ-ing the Wilmington and Weldon Railroadbridge at Rocky Mount. The Confederatesquickly restored rail service after eachraid. In October 1864, U.S. Navy Lt. WilliamB. Cushing destroyed the ironclad CSSAlbemarle at Plymouth, in one of severalattacks on river defenses.
By August 1864, Wilmington was thelast major Confederate seaport open toblockade runners. After two attempts,Union forces captured Fort Fisher on Jan-uary 15, 1865, then secured rail centers such as Goldsboro. Lee’s supply line wascut, and the war ended three months later.

Secession andwar dividedwesternNorth Carolinians, and neigh-bors and families quickly came toblows as angrywords gaveway to
fists and guns. Confederate conscriptionacts fostered resistance, the mountainssheltered deserters from both sides, and armed bands brutally settled scores.Western North Carolina and East Ten-nessee also produced two notable lead-ers, one Confederate and one Unionist.
Confederate Col. William H.Thomas of North Carolina, the onlywhite man to serve as a Cherokee chief,had helped establish the Qualla Bound-ary (Eastern Band of Cherokee reserva-tion) north of Franklin. He organizedThomas’s Legion of Cherokee Indiansand Mountaineers in Knoxville, Ten-nessee, in 1862, with 400 Cherokee intwo of his companies. It fought in Ten-nessee, Kentucky, and Virginia andlargely prevented the Federal occupa-tion of western North Carolina.
In 1864, Maj. George W. Kirk, aUnionist native of Greeneville in EastTennessee, organized the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry (U.S.). Herecruited men and boys from westernNorth Carolina, especially in nearbyMadison County, as well as in East Ten-nessee. Kirk and his men becamefamous, or infamous, for their raids onConfederate sympathizers and trainingcamps in western North Carolina.

The Carolinas, South and North, feltthe weight of Sherman’s boot early in 1865.Fort Fisher, the “Gibraltar of the South”that protected the blockade-running capi-tal of Wilmington, N.C., fell in mid-January,cutting the supply lifeline to Lee in Vir-ginia. Grant, meanwhile, forced Lee’s lineswestward around Petersburg until theyfinally broke at Five Forks on April 1, aweek and a half after Sherman almostcrushed Confederate Gen. Joseph E. John-ston’s army at Bentonville, North Carolina.Lee evacuated Petersburg and Richmondand marched his dwindling army west, hop-ing to turn south and join Johnston. Grantblocked his way, however, and corneredhim at Appomattox Court House, where Leesurrendered on April 9. The Confederategovernment fled south through North Car-olina.
