Organization of the North Carolina 1st Cavalry Regiment (aka 9th Regiment North Carolina State Troops) Shortly after the secession of North Carolina, the state legislature
authorized the organization of ten regiments to be enlisted for three years
or for the duration of the war. Eight of these regiments were to be infantry, one cavalry, and one
artillery. The ninth regiment formed by this act of the legislature was
designated the ninth Regiment, North Carolina State Troops (cavalry).
