All I know of early NC is that it was the first state to reject ratification of the constitution. I don’t bring it up as a negative, it just is. Your screen name implies why.

Thanks! Glad FDR was allowing US generals to go all out to rescue our military men and citizens, unlike Barry the ditherer.

Two of my ancestors, a father-son duo, were North Carolina Quakers, presumably abolitionists, who volunteered for the Union Army in the Civil War. There were three Union N.C. regiments. After the War they moved to a Quaker settlement in Indiana. I’ve always assumed they weren’t very welcome in N.C. after the War.

There is a substantial Quaker presence in NC to this day, centered upon Greensboro. My direct male line married a number of Quaker women.
