SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINAL Civil War NEWSPAPER, the
New York Times
(NY, NY) dated March 25, 1862 with fantastic CIVIL WAR news and coverage from North carolina. This original newspaper contains a prominent front-page report with bold stacked headlines and a large map of the harbor at Beaurfort.
Though the state had officially joined the Confederacy, North Carolinians remained divided over whether to support the Union or Confederate war efforts throughout the Civil War.  A large proportion of the state’s white population supported the Confederacy; of the approximately 150,000 white men in North Carolina between the ages of 15 and 49 when the Civil War began, almost 125,000 (or more than 80 percent) served in the Confederate Army at some point during the war.  Over the course of the war, 24,000 of these men deserted their military units.  These numbers only partly reveal the extent of Confederate loyalty in North Carolina, however.  In 1862, the Confederate national government passed the first in a series of conscription acts, requiring that physically able men of military age serve in the army.  While many of North Carolina’s Confederate soldiers volunteered for service because of a personal commitment to the Confederate cause, others joined the army under threat of imprisonment or death if they refused.  Whether they volunteered or were conscripted, North Carolina’s Confederate troops suffered heavily during the Civil War: between 33,000 and 35,000 died in battle, of wounds, or of disease between 1861 and 1865.
From the beginning of the Civil War, several thousand North Carolinians, especially those living in the state’s coastal and mountain regions, remained loyal to the United States and resisted the Confederacy’s control over the state.  At least 10,000 white and an additional 5,000 black North Carolinians joined Union army units and fought against the Confederacy.  Thousands more North Carolinians refused to be conscripted into Confederate military service or to support the state’s war effort by paying taxes or contributing material.  In 1864, William Woods Holden sought election to governor on a peace platform, which proposed that North Carolina abandon the Confederacy and negotiate terms to end the state’s participation in the war.  North Carolina’s wartime governors, John W. Ellis, Henry Toole Clark, and Zebulon Vance, struggled to suppress both political dissent and outright resistance to the Confederacy.  Tensions between Unionists and Confederate forces culminated in two infamous mass killings.  The first occurred in late January or early February of 1863 in Madison County, where members of the 64th North Carolina infantry killed thirteen citizens of the county suspected of being Unionists and deserters from the Confederate Army.  A year later in February 1864, Major General George E. Pickett hanged twenty-two North Carolinians captured fighting for the Union after they had deserted the Confederacy.
