Happy to review. Two points for the start, more to follow:

• in the state of North Carolina in 1870 in the United States – bit confusing to have a place followed by a date followed by a place. Maybe we don't need "United States" here?
  • Revised to put the date last. I'm loathe to not specify where North Carolina is, as per WP:Global we can't expect that everyone will know it's an American place.
• 1st North Carolina Troops and 2nd North Carolina Troops – maybe "1st and 2nd North Carolina Troops"? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Done. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
• sending North Carolina Adjutant-General A. W. Fisher to Richmond, Virginia speak with General Edward Canby, – is a "to" missing here?
  • I don't think so...seems like a filler word. I could revise the sentence, as it's a long one.
• Upon arriving, Kirk learned that congressional candidates James Madison Leach and William L. Scott were holding a debate in the courthouse. – Why where these arrested, have they been on some list?
  • Only Leach, the Democrat, was detained, but Scott vouched for him and had him released. The sources don't say whether Leach was on a list.
• The resolution requires approval from the House in order to be put into effect. – But was it approved in the end?
  • Media coverage ends there, and I don't think the House every completed this step, so this is where it stands; Holden has never been completely pardoned.
• That's all, very nice work; I like the background section that places everything into context. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:33, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
