This guide also includes an author index and a major engagements index.
-'''Civil War Claims in the South'''. During the Civil War individuals and families in the South who were loyal to the Union sometimes suffered great losses for their views. On 3 March 1871 Congress authorized a three-man board to review claims for losses. Applications were accepted until March 1880. Over 22,298 claims were filed, and many were filed by persons from North Carolina. The claims were for ruined property, goods contracted for by the federal government, food and supplies taken for military use, destruction of homes and barns, and theft of personal goods by Union troops. The claims often contain a great amount of genealogical information about family, neighbors, and friends. For two indexes to the persons who applied for these claims, see:
+'''Southern Claims Commission.''' If a Union sympathizer in North Carolina claimed a loss during the Civil War due to Union military confiscation, he could apply to the Southern Claims Commission for reimbursement. Only a few applied, but their neighbors were called as witnesses and asked dozens of questions. Hundreds of the residents in a county may be mentioned in answers to Commission questions, and their wartime activities described. To learn how to find records mentioning these neighbors in North Carolina counties during the Civil War see the [[Southern Claims Commission|Southern Claims Commission]].
