North Carolina was not the last state to secede from the United States. Tennessee did not secede on May 6. They only put the question up for vote on that day. Their actual date of secession was on June 8, 1861. That was the official day their Ordinance of secession was passed and voted on. Therefore, that makes them the last state to secede. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.85.192.200 ( talk) 19:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
As a deeply divided state, did North Carolina send any regiments to fight for the Union, as Delaware sent some to fight for the Confederates? Valetude ( talk) 11:32, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Not entirely clear what this dramatic claim actually means. Valetude ( talk) 23:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
This article needs considerable expansion. It is a simple summary with little detail of how NC left, fought the war, or how it re-entered the Union. Red Harvest ( talk) 11:29, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Greetings! There is an editor who disagrees with my removal of content from the page. I have no problem explaining my reasons and why I believe it is necessary. Firstly, "One soldier from the 38th North Carolina gave his reasons for fighting for the Confederacy, stating that "a white man is better than a nigger" " is absolutely Undue and POV. The opinion of one single soldier does not matter. Its also inflammatory. This was far from the sole reason the war was fought. DaltonCastle ( talk) 23:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Secondly, "In January 1863, thirteen North Carolinian Unionists were murdered by the Confederate army" is a Coatrack. It implies that anyone who fought or served for the Union in any way was inherently good, while anyone in the Confederacy, inherently bad. If there were Union operatives acting in North Carolina during the war, that is treason or espionage, technically speaking. It was not murder, it was a military execution. That aside, it is not notable for this article. DaltonCastle ( talk) 23:42, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
I'd ask all those here to avoid hyperbole and discussion of personalities. There are plenty of issues here to actually discuss. I'd encourage those making points to stick to the subject at hand: the insertion of specific assertions backed with citation from clearly reliable sources. On the general subject of the ACW, few writers are more reputable than Foner and McPherson. To me the question is not "are the quotes/assertions well supported?" but instead "why are these specific quotes/assertions relevant to the general purpose of this article?".

This article currently contains these words: "North Carolina contributed more troops to the Confederacy than any other state". Just with a quick internet search, it appears that while often quoted, this statement is false. Also, the number for the total number of Confederate troops seems higher than any source I can find. If someone with more knowledge on this topic wants to correct these things, it would be appreciated. Leviavery ( talk) 20:18, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
