Robert E. Lee was the leader of the rebellions
The settlers in the mountains region, the wealthy plantation owners and the people living on the coast would have been most likely to support seccession in North Carolina. Yeoman farmers were non-slave farmers, and abolitionists were against slavery.
In 1860, North Carolina was a slave state, with a population of slaves comprising approximately one third of the population, a smaller proportion than many southern states. The state refused to join the Confederate States of America until President Abraham Lincoln insisted that he invade his "brother" state, South Carolina. The state was a place of few battles, but it provided 125,000 soldiers to the Confederate States of America, much more than any other state. About 40,000 of those troops never returned to their homes, some died of illness, because of injuries caused on the battlefield and deprivation. Elected in 1862, Governor Zebulon Baird Vance sought to maintain state autonomy against the President of the Confederate States of America Jefferson Davis in Richmond, Virginia.
Even after the secession, some people of North Carolina refused to support the Confederate States. This happened, mainly, in the case of those who did not own slaves for agriculture in the western mountains of the state and the Piedmont region. Some of these farmers remained neutral during the war, while some, undercover, supported the Union during the conflict. Even so, the troops of the Confederate States of America from all over North Carolina served in virtually all the great battles of the Army of Northern Virginia. The biggest battle in North Carolina was in Bentonville, a vain attempt on the part of the Confederate general Joseph Johnston to stop the advance of the general of the Union William Tecumseh Sherman, in the spring of 1865. In April of 1865 Johnston surrendered at Sherman Bennett Place, in what is now Durham. This was the last great army to surrender.

Survival of the fittest and Darwin's theory of natural selection are clearly the biggest themes in "The Call of the Wild".
We're set in London following Buck, a dog who from the start is in conflict with his surroundings, with humans, as well as with other dogs. His goal in the story is to overcome these challenges and survive. In a way, Buck must learn to be wilder than his environment in order to stay alive. He senses the harshness and brutality of the world around him looking directly at the consequences anyone that fails to adapt could suffer, in the figure of Curly, a good natured and harmless dog who is being crushed by his inability to overcome these conditions.
This tale is a pefect parallel with Darwin's theories, which propose that each species evolves in a way that enables them to overcome the obstacles presented by their environment in order to survive.
Hope this helps!
