Введение
5-й полк Северной Каролины был назначен в Континентальную армию Южного департамента 26 марта 1776 года. Он был сформирован весной 1776 года в Уилмингтоне, Северная Каролина, из восьми рот добровольцев, набранных из округов Нью-Берн, Эдентон и Хиллсборо штата Северная Каролина. 5 февраля 1777 года полк был присоединен к основной Континентальной армии, а 8 июля 1777 года – к бригаде Северной Каролины. 1 июня 1778 года полк был сведен к кадровому составу в Вэлли-Фордж, Пенсильвания, и вновь назначен в Южный департамент. Осенью 1778 года полк был реорганизован до девяти рот в Галифаксе и 11 января 1779 года приписан к бригаде Самнера. 3 июня 1779 года эта бригада была переименована в бригаду Армстронга. Полк был захвачен британской армией 12 мая 1780 года в Чарльстоне, Южная Каролина, и официально расформирован 1 января 1781 года.
The 5th North Carolina Regiment was assigned on March 26, 1776, to the Continental Army in the Southern Department. It was organized in the spring of 1776 at Wilmington, North Carolina, as eight companies of volunteers from the districts of New Bern, Edenton and Hillsborough District of North Carolina. On February 5, 1777, the regiment was assigned to the main Continental Army and assigned to the North Carolina Brigade on July 8, 1777. The regiment was reduced to a cadre on June 1, 1778, at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and was assigned to the Southern Department. The regiment was re organized to nine companies during the fall of 1778 at Halifax and assigned on January 11, 1779, to Sumner's Brigade. On 3 June 1779, this brigade was redesignated as Armstrong's Brigade. The regiment was captured by the British Army on 12 May 1780 at Charlestown, South Carolina and was officially disbanded on January 1, 1781.
История
5-й полк Северной Каролины был организован в марте 1776 года в составе Южного департамента, где он оставался до 5 февраля 1777 года. Роты полка были первоначально сформированы в Уилмингтоне, Северная Каролина, и включали в себя людей из Нью-Берна, Эдентона и других частей округа Хиллсборо. Солдаты служили сроками по девять месяцев. Позже в том же году, 8 июля 1777 года, полк был приписан к Северному департаменту Континентальной армии. 5-й полк Северной Каролины был объединен с 3-м полком Северной Каролины, которым командовал полковник Джетро Самнер вскоре после 29 мая 1778 года. Солдаты, оставшиеся в армии, оставались в составе 3-го полка до января 1779 года, когда 5-й полк Северной Каролины был вновь сформирован под командованием Южного командования во главе с полковником Томасом Кларком. Это командование не продлилось дольше начала 1780 года. Полк был официально расформирован 1 января 1781 года. Большинство оставшихся солдат было включено в состав 3-го полка Северной Каролины.

The soldiers that remained with the army remained with the 3rd until January 1779 when the 5th North Carolina Regiment was reestablished under the Southern Command with Col Thomas Clark as commander. The command did not last longer than early 1780. It was officially disbanded on January 1, 1781. Most of the remaining men were absorbed into the 3rd North Carolina Regiment. Col.
