North Carolina is rich in Civil War history. One of the most interesting Civil War era sites is the National Cemetary in Salisbury. There are 11,700 Union soldiers buried in long trenches. Their deaths were the result of being held at a nearby prison camp. One third of the inmates at the prison camp died, mostly the result of malnutrition and disease, ranking it with Andersonville as one of the deadliest. There are more unkown dead there than any other National Cemetary.

WRONG ANSWER, unless you don't consider Arlington National Cemetery a national cemetary.
