A NOTE FROM HABEYNorth Carolina has long been called the “Tar Heel State” but no one is certain why. Some believe its early production of tar, pitch and turpentine accounts for the name. Others cite popular legend dating back to the American Revolution, when Carolina colonists covered a riverbed with tar to slow down an approaching British army. Further tales trace the name back to the Civil War, when General Robert E. Lee was said to praise his “Tar Heel boys” for threatening to stick tar on the heels of fellow-retreating soldiers to help them hold their ground.
