Abstract:
It is a common thought that after the Civil War, Southern railroads could not have been repaired to working condition without the help of the Union Army. The railroads of North Carolina needed only minor repairs to assist in a temporary military occupation. Within six months after the conflict, the Army conducted no maintenance work at all and left the rails in worse condition that when they found them.
