The Civil War divided North Carolinians. More than 120,000 North Carolinians fought for the Confederacy. The nickname for North Carolinians, Tar Heels, may have come from these soldiers. They were known for standing their ground in battle. About 15,000 North Carolinians fought for the Union army. Of these, more than 5,000 were African Americans. Replica of Civil War ir  onclad ship
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CSSAlbemarle.JPG Early in the war, the Union hoped to weaken the Confederacy by setting up a blockade along the Atlantic coast. During a blockade, an area is blocked, or cut off, to keep people and supplies from going in or out. The Confederacy fought against the blockade with a new kind of ship called an ironclad. An iron clad was a wooden ship covered with metal plates. Some ironclads were built in North Carolina. In 1862, Union soldiers captured Roanoke Island, New Bern, and Beaufort. As a result, the Union controlled most of North Carolina’s ports.
