A Brief History of the Civil War in and around Wilmington NC

Beverly Tetterton

0/5 ( ratings)

No war is ever "civil" and Wilmington endured its share of conflict and hardship, including a deadly yellow-fever epidemic. The ?Port City? - then North Carolina?s largest - played a vital role for the Confederacy. After the fall of Mobile in August 1864, Wilmington remained the Confederacy?s last major open port, causing General Robert E. Lee to call her ?the lifeline of the Confederacy.? After the fall of nearby Fort Fisher and Wilmington in January/February 1865, the war soon ended.

Our story of the Civil War is told through a tour of 18 stops stops in and around Wilmington :

1. Bellamy Mansion
2. Bellamy Mansion Slave Quarters
3. The Burgwin-Wright House & Confederate HQs
4. City / Thalian Hall
