North Carolina has 13 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and two seats in the U.S. Senate . Originally a traditionally Democratic state, North Carolina has voted Republican in 9 of the last 10 elections, as NC did not vote for John McCain . Despite this, it has also mostly elected Democrats to the Governship in its history, with only 2 Republican governors elected in the entire twentieth century . </P> <P> Historically, North Carolina was politically divided between the eastern and western parts of the state . Before the Civil War, the eastern half of North Carolina supported the Democratic Party, primarily because the region contained most of the state's planter slaveholders who profited from large cash crops . Yeomen farmers in the western Piedmont and mountains were not slaveholders and tended to support the Whig party, seen as more moderate on slavery and more supportive of business interests . </P>
