On May 1, 1861, the North Carolina legislature voted that counties should elect delegates who would determine whether North Carolina would remain in the Union. |
|
On May 20, 1861, 150 years ago this week, the delegates, convening in Raleigh, voted unanimously that the state would no longer be a part of the United States of America. The Ordinance of Secession states: "We do further declare and ordain, That the union now subsisting between the State of North Carolina and the other States under the title of the United States of America, is hereby dissolved, and that the State of North Carolina is in the full possession and exercise of all those rights of sovereignty which belong and appertain to a free and independent State" The resolution goes on to give the Confederate central government jurisdiction over some North Carolina land for military use, as well as to ratify the Constitution of the Confederate States of America and change all references in the state constitution from United States to Confederate States. |
