North Carolina Union Men of 1861
“Many a gallant Tar Heel has maintained that he did not fight against the flag of the United States, but against the man who was carrying it and endeavoring to use it to overturn the constitutional principles in support of which it gained a place among the proud ensigns of the nations. These “Unionists” were the only true loyal men of 1860 who said, ‘I will stand by the Union as long as the obligations under which it was formed are observed.’”
(North Carolina Union Men of 1861. W.A. Graham, North Carolina Booklet, Vol. XI, No. 1, July 1911, pp. 11-12)
