Abstract:

A New Bern celebration that vividly stands out is the welcome once given to the Ninth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Despite New Bern’s history with these former enemies, the overpowering reception for the soldiers demonstrated that former allegiances were overridden by the traumatic events they shared during the Civil War and respect for each other.
