What is the History of pre-revolutionary colonial militias Which colonies had militias Who controlled these militias?
Prior to the Revolutionary War, militias were used in all of the colonies, especially during the French and Indian War. During this time, there was some conflict between the British Army, headed by George Washington and the militias who were reluctant to involve themselves in the skirmishes as ordered.
Why did some colonists form militias?
Militias were formed as the colonial united states had no standing army due to their young age and inability to support one financially The militias, also called "minute men" often consisted of ramshackle groups of farmers that fought on a minutes notice, hence the name minute men, with whatever weapon nearest by. These Militias angered the British forces as they were not fighting the correct and gentlemanly way; often fleeing from a loosing battle rather than surrendering to the British. So all in all they were formed because of necessity and lack of a home front security system.
