Though always an important North Carolina city, Charlotte truly helped to make history during the Civil War. The city's factories produced gunpowder, percussion caps, and medicine for the Confederate cause.

Hardy as he recounts the triumphs and struggles of Queen City civilians and soldiers in the Civil War.
