Petigru, James Louis (1789–1863) lawyer, politician; born in Abbeville District, S.C. A graduate of South Carolina College, he taught school while studying law, was admitted to the bar in 1812, and established a thriving practice in Charleston. An opponent of nullification, he served in the state legislature and as attorney general. He left public service in the 1830s, (with brief service as a federal district attorney, 1851–53) but remained for many years the state's leading lawyer. Although he opposed secession, he ardently supported the Confederacy when war came in 1861. How to thank TFD for its existence?
