Oh, so a tar heel is a try hard.

Too bad it's not the Iowa State Tar Heels.

To call someone a “rosin heel” or “tar heel” was to imply that they worked in a lowly trade. During the Civil War, North Carolina soldiers flipped the meaning of the term and turned an epithet into an accolade. They called themselves “tar heels” as an expression of state pride.

I have also heard the term date from the Revolutionary War.

Surprised that the cancel culture warriors haven't come for Tar Heels yet due to its Civil War origins.

North Carolina, I believe, suffered the most casualties by percentage out of any Confederate state. Ironically, North Carolina barely voted to secede.
