Abstract:

Today, it is difficult to imagine the North Carolina coast in danger from a foreign nation, but during the 1800s the coastline was at threat to naval attack from European nations and the U.S. navy during the Civil War. The North Carolina coast thus featured several fort systems along the coast.
