" In 1867, the U.S. government established the Wilmington National Cemetery, in Wilmington, North Carolina, consolidating the remains of fallen Union troops from cemeteries and battlefield graves in the surrounding area. Wilmington became one of the most important cities of the Confederacy as it was the last major Atlantic port still in Southern control. The port town eventually fell to overwhelming Union forces in January 1865."
