Abstract:
Parties clashed in the 1876 gubernatorial race and pitted Democrat Zebulon Vance against Republican Thomas Settle. The race became dubbed 'Battle of the Giants' because each candidate represented the best from each party and because of the veracity of the campaign, which turned away from issues and focused on personalities. Vance would go on to win by 14,000 votes and secure the Democrats political position within the state.

Abstract:
This battle's carnage is measured in more than Union and Confederate casualties. Included by the author were the destruction of the 26th North Carolina Regiment as a formidable force. Attesting to Gettysburg’s destruction included 28,000 Confederate dead or wounded, 2,935 of whom were buried in Virginia’s Hollywood Cemetery. The large number of North Carolina soldiers killed, one in four of total forces, helped to usher in a peace movement yielding 100 rallies and increased division between the Secessionists and Unionists.

Zebulon Baird Vance was North Carolina's famous wartime governor, 1862-1865. Previously he had commanded the 26th Regiment North Carolina Troops in battles at New Bern and around Richmond. He was humiliated at war's end when Federal troops captured and carried him to a prison in Washington, D.C., where he was held for a considerable time. Vance triumphed, however, when he was again elected Governor and later a very popular U.S. Senator.

Vance had been Colonel of the 26th Regiment North Carolina Troops in the early part of the Civil War and later the wartime Governor of North Carolina.
