After the Civil War, James had to prove his loyality to the United States to get his pension reinstated. A claim had been made to the Pension Department that James supported the Civil War. Special Agent John H. Wager took a deposition from Robert E. Leachman, Postmaster at Meridian, Mississippi, on 7 Sept 1874, which stated that "Mr. Stokes, Special Agent had called upon affiant, who further states that he had no recollection of giving Mr. Stokes any information which would warrant his writing the letter to you reporting the disloyality of James Waits Pensioner War of 1812. Affiant has no personal knowledge of his disloyality during the War 1861 but on the contrary believes he can easily say that the said Waits was a loyal man opposed to the war and adheared to the United States Government during the War 1861. Affiant bases his knowledge from hearing the said pensioner converse about the war, which showed he was opposed to the war. does not remember the language used by the Pensioner but such was his tenor of the pensioners conversations. Affiant heard him speak during the early part of the war, does not of his personal knowledge know of the Pensioners status during the rest of the war, but from information (general) the said Pensioner was loyal......."

Agent Wager also took a deposition on the same day from A. C. Edwards, County Superintendent of Education, and resident of Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi, who stated that he "had known James Waits a Pensioner War of 1812 for 19 years - saw him during the War 1861 and at these times always expressed himself opposed to the war and in favor of the United States government. The said Pensioner would at times get drunk and affiant has heard him at those times publicly denounce the rebel government - at no time did affiant ever hear the said Pensioner advocate or express himself in favor of the rebellion......."

Finally, Agent Wagers took a deposition from the pensioner, James Waits, on September 9, 1874 in which James stated that he was 78 years old, is a farmer, residence Beat Post Office Marion, Lauderdale County, Miss. seven miles from Marion." He further stated that "he was an Union Man from the commencement of the War 1861 to its close, did not vote for secession, voted against it. when the Barbecues were held he attended the Union ones. Never hurraried for Jef Davis but always for the Union....."

On September 10, 1874, Agent Wager wrote to the Hon. J. H. Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C. his findings:

I called to see Mr. Leachman as you may judge was very much surprised at his statement which please find enclosed further enquiry developed the fact that the Pensioner has been one of those noisey drunken men to whom no attention was ever paid no matter what he said or did That he had always been a Union Man, constantly asserted in publicly many men were hung for saying or doing only one tenth he did......." James was restored to the Pension Rolls on Sept 16, 1874.
