North Carolina's government was formed by a bunch of people who lived and carved out a life in an inhospitable  swamp.

This gave them a particular Anti-Federalist bent, as they mistrusted a federal government who was perceived as holding the power to take away what they had carved with their own hands.

But in the end North Carolina supported a centralized government, once a bill of rights was added.

The Federal government is a hodgepodge of "self made States" like North Carolina, and economically minded states like New York, and Maine.

These States that have much more economic prowess, and therefore a greater support of Federalism and a centralized government as it financially benefited them more.

Having both Federalists and Anti-Federalists ended up creating the dual party system we use today, even though the names have changed some.
