As the Civil War approached, Tyler, as a former president, led efforts at compromise| however, when he realized that conflict was inevitable, he supported the Confederacy and was elected from Virginia as a member of the Confederate House of Representatives then meeting in Montgomery. Pettigrew, a native of Tyrrell County, North Carolina, practiced law in Charleston, South Carolina and was colonel of the First Regiment of Rifles of Charleston. Tyler informs Pettigrew that because of the expected long duration of the war and the change in the method of enrolling volunteers the Confederate War Department had full authority to appoint officers, including those of Pettigrew's proposed Rifle Regiment. When Pettigrew's regiment could not enter the Confederate Army on his own terms, he went to Richmond and enlisted in Hampton's Legion."},{"label":"Digital Characteristics","value":"2 pages"},{"label":"Format","value":["Correspondence"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"All rights held by the State Archives of NC.
