'''North Carolina''', in the southeastern region of the [[United States]], on [[November]] 21st, 1789 became the twelfth state to enter into the union. North Carolina was part of the [[Confederate States of America]], 1861-65. The capital of North Carolina is [[Raleigh]] and its largest city is [[Charlotte]]. The current governor of North Carolina is Roy Cooper, a [[Democrat]].
North Carolina is the birthplace of two American presidents, [[James Polk]] and [[Andrew Johnson]], both of whom left young. The most prominent recent conservative leader was Senator [[Jesse Helms]]. The state's two current Republican senators, [[Richard Burr]] and [[Thom Tillis]], are fully unlike Helms in style and philosophy of government.
