During the Civil War, Confederate military courts sentenced to
death more soldiers from North Carolina than from any other state.
This study offers the first exploration of the service records of
450 of these wayward Confederates, most often deserters. Arranged
by army, corps, division and brigade, it chronicles their military
trials and frequent executions and offers explanations of how a
lucky few were able to avoid their fate. Focus on court activity by
company allows for comparisons that emphasize the wide disparity in
discipline within a regiment and brigade. By stressing the
effectiveness of these deadly decisions as deterrents to others,
this work maintains that an earlier and wider reliance on execution
would have strengthened the Confederacy sufficiently to force a
negotiated end to the war, thus saving many Confederate and Federal
lives.
