Abstract:
During the Revolutionary War, commanders of the Continental Army faced many difficulties in the southern states due the numerous self-contradictory restrictions coming from the Continental Congress and local civil authorities. While military commanders were under direct orders from Congress, they were at the mercy of state governments for troops, supplies, and weaponry. Southern political divisions constantly challenged the authority of Congress, making a strong defense of the southern colonies very difficult.

After his death in 1865, James Cathcart Johnston defied the usual practice of leaving his worldly possessions to his family and instead gave them to three close friends in his will. An heir contested the will which led to a sensational 1867 trial in Chowan County Superior Court that involved former governors, congressmen, a cabinet officer and a superior court judge.
