North Carolina initially did not ratify the Constitution because it believed that it did not adequately protect individual rights and liberties. They insisted on the inclusion of a Bill of Rights as a safeguard against potential government overreach. Once the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution, North Carolina ratified it in 1789.

The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
