North Carolina is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southeastern United States. The capital is Raleigh.

North Carolina was one of the original Thirteen Colonies, originally known as Carolina, and the home of the first English colony in the Americas.[1] On May 20, 1861, it became the last of the Confederate states to secede from the Union, and was readmitted on July 4, 1868. It was also the location of the first successful manned powered heavier-than-air flight, by the Wright brothers, at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk in 1903.
