It could be said that Davie County, North Carolina, entered the Civil War only reluctantly. As late as the winter of 1861, a statewide ballot calling for a convention on secession had been defeated by a relatively small margin of votes. In Davie County, however, some 754 people voted against the convention while only 263 voted in favor of the convention. And yet despite the initial opposition, a staggering percentage of Davie County men served. Out of a total population of 6,000, more than 1,200 men served in the Confederate service, three-fourths of whom joined as volunteers. These men were members of several companies, from the Davie Greys to the Davie Sweepstakes, and participated in some of the fiercest and most important battles, including the Battles of Fort Fisher, Seven Pines, Second Manassas, Harpers Ferry, Antietam, and Fredericksburg.
