Why were most people in North Carolina reluctant to secede from the United States? A. They thought Abraham Lincoln was a good president.

B. They believed that the northern section of the country would win the war.

C. They had always viewed themselves as independent from the rest of the South.

D. Few of them owned slaves and didn’t want to fight to save the plantation system.

The major issue that drove states to secession was slavery, but North Carolina's economy did not depend on slavery as much as the Deep South states did. ... Most people did not want to jeopardize this success by leaving the security of the Union in order to save slavery.

Explanation:

The answer is D- Few of them owned slaves and didn’t want to fight to save the plantation system. Their economy relied less on slaves then did the other southern states. Most citizens in North Carolina were afraid of leaving the USA as they felt the fight was not worth having. However, they did join the confederates due to the actions taken at Fort Sumter.

I hope this helps! :)
