North Carolina in the Civil War
While North Carolina was the last of the eleven Southern states to secede, it sent more troops and materials and suffered more losses than any other Southern state, over 40,000 casualties (19,673 as a result of battle, 20,602 due to injury or disease). In all, North Carolina supplied one-sixth of the Confederate soldiers and accounted for one-quarter of Confederate deaths.
