I’m thinking it is a loyalty oath people signed after the war.
Take a look at these

Thanks...except this Oath of Parole was during the war, January 1865. I just found the General Order No. 49, tried for years to find it! I just wonder why he was in North Carolina, no idea if he was a soldier, a prisoner there or what. I found the oath paper folded up and stuck in a tiny address book of my great aunt’s. I immediately got a glass frame for it.
