Abstract:
Union elections were held in four Confederate states in an attempt to reestablish Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Louisiana into the Union. One election took place in the state's first and second districts in 1863. The article summarizes the events and political maneuvering necessary for these elections to occur and for North Carolinians to realign themselves with the Union by electing congressmen.
