New Bern was a valuable port city during the Civil War and the Confederates made many attempts to reclaim it. On March 14, 1862, Federal forces under the command of General Ambrose Burnside overwhelmed Confederate forces in the Battle of New Bern, capturing the town and its important seaport. From that time on, Confederates planned to retake the city. D.H. Hill and James J. Pettigrew made the first attempt but failed miserably. General George Pickett tried in February 1864. He nearly succeeded but called the attack off on the edge of victory. The Confederates made another charge in May led by General Robert Hoke. They had the city surrounded with superior forces when Lee called Hoke back to Richmond and ended the expedition. Author Jim White details the chaotic history of New Bern in the Civil War.

This expansive, multivolume reference work provides a broad, multidisciplinary examination of the Civil War period ranging from pre-Civil War developments and catalysts such as the Mexican-American War to the rebuilding of the war-torn nation during Reconstruction. The Civil War was undoubtedly the most important and seminal event in 19th-century American history. Students who understand the Civil War have a better grasp of the central dilemmas in the American historical narrative: states rights versus federalism, freedom versus slavery, the role of the military establishment, the extent of presidential powers, and individual rights versus collective rights. Many of these dilemmas continue to shape modern society and politics. This comprehensive work facilitates both detailed reading and quick referencing for readers from the high school level to senior scholars in the field. The exhaustive coverage of this encyclopedia includes all significant battles and skirmishes; important figures, both civilian and military; weapons; government relations with Native Americans; and a plethora of social, political, cultural, military, and economic developments. The entries also address the many events that led to the conflict, the international diplomacy of the war, the rise of the Republican Party and the growing crisis and stalemate in American politics, slavery and its impact on the nation as a whole, the secession crisis, the emergence of the "total war" concept, and the complex challenges of the aftermath of the conflict.

In early December 1862 a regiment of North Carolinians surprised and routed the blue-coated soldiers occupying Plymouth, and the furious battle leaving the town mostly rubble and ashes. Several months later the enemy returned to construct a formidable fortress of redoubts, bombproofs and palisades around the few remaining buildings. This became a base for raids up the Roanoke River against military targets, but more often included "total war" upon civilians in their homes and farms. Relief would come in April 1864 when Brigadier General Robert F. Hoke's division and the ironclad CSS Albemarle overwhelmed the fortress in one of the Civil War's most brilliantly executed and epic battles. While marauding troops in blue bring to mind Sherman in 1864 Georgia, northeastern North Carolinians experienced this much earlier and longer, and well-documented in this volume. When compared to the pantheon of well-known American Civil War battlefields, Plymouth, North Carolina does not come quickly to mind as does Gettysburg, Sharpsburg and Shiloh. Too often overlooked in the shade of late-war battles in North Carolina such as Fort Fisher and Bentonville, the epic battle fought here in mid-April 1864 was a much-needed triumph of mostly North Carolina forces led by Brigadier General Robert F. Hoke. President Jefferson Davis was so elated by Hoke's signal victory he immediately promoted him to Major-General.

Wilson's Wharf was the first major clash between U.S. Colored Troops and the Army of Northern Virginia. The 1st and 10th USCT infantry regiments, supported by two cannon and two U.S. Navy gunboats, faced 11 detachments of veteran Confederate cavalry who were under orders to "kill every man." Union commander General Edward Wild, a one-armed abolitionist, refused General Fitzhugh Lee's demand for surrender, telling Lee to "go to Hell." The battle resulted in a victory for the mainly black Union force. This book describes the action in detail and in the larger context of the history of black U.S. servicemen, including the British recruitment of runaway slaves during the Revolutionary War, the black Colonial Marines who joined the British in torching Washington in the War of 1812, and the South's attempts to enlist slaves in the final months of the Civil War.
