Although North Carolina provided its share of finances, supplies,
and volunteers for the regular army and for the state militia,
those who served found themselves ill-equipped, poorly fed, and
stationed in unhealthful locations. The chief results of the war
were injurious: state defense debts were never paid by the federal
government, efforts at establishing industry were abortive, and the
removal of the Indian menace in the West lured a number of young
leaders to greener pastures so that the state became the Rip Van
Winkle" state for several decades.
The Reverend Charles Pettigrew was a blend of many elements:
Huguenot-Scot-Irish, Presbyterian and Anglican, frontiersman and
urbanite, schoolteacher and aristocrat, common man and
Federalist--in other words, American. His career was an excellent
example of upward mobility in early America, and the account
assumes a significance beyond the North Carolina locale.
