"Several thousand White North Carolinians wore the Union blue. Of these some never switched their allegiance to the Confederacy while others did, only to become disenchanted and return to the United States' fold. About half joined regiments of other states becoming lost among the names of those with whom they served. The others, numbering at least 3,156, 3 were organized into four regiments of North Carolina Union Volunteers" seems you left some out..
Given what unionists faced In NC,I don't know if I would have had the courage to be one,

The listings for individual states are for white troops, the blacks are under a single list marked USCT. In North Carolina there were fours black unionist regiments and four white unionist regiments. The total number of the NC white unionists was 3,156 with 43 battle related deaths – they didn’t do a lot of fighting either.

Seems you don't want the service of black confederates denigrated but your more then willing to do so the service of southern unionists..“When it came time for the Buffaloes to take to the woods, they took to the field.”
