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 this account assumes a significance beyond the North Carolina locale.

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 unhealthy locations. The chief results of the war were injurious, to such an extent that the state became the Rip Van Winkle state for several decades.
