| 词条 | List of North Carolina Union Civil War units |
| 释义 |
As in almost all Southern states during the American Civil War, a number of units were raised to fight for the Union from pro-Union citizens and former slaves. North Carolina provided the Union Army with (alongside Tennessee and Virginia) units at 25,000, the second-highest number of troops from a Confederate state to fight for the Union. Around 24,000 troops from Confederate North Carolina regiments also deserted and joined the Union, bringing the total to over 49,000. The 1st North Carolina Infantry was established in the spring of 1861, near the town of Warrenton.[1] Union troops captured and raided cities and towns in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee and southwest virginia, most notably during the Battle of Bull's Gap, Battle of Red Banks and Stoneman's 1864 and 1865 raid. The territory captured remained under Union control for the duration of the war. The list of North Carolina Confederate Civil War units is shown separately. Territory under Union control in North Carolina from the start of the war was first organized into the Department of Virginia in 1861, then the Department of North Carolina shortly after in 1862. The department played large roles in key coastal battles such as the Battle of Roanoke Island and Battle of Wilmington, securing strategic Confederate ports and what was then the state's largest city, in support of the Anaconda plan. The North Carolina XVIII Corps was also one of the largest in the Union Army from 1862-1864. Infantry
