Description
“During the colonial era, the militia system was linked to a fundamental concept of provincial citizenship. Along with church and governments, militia systems were considered to be one of three pillars of provincial society. The colonial militias constituted the primary instrument of defense for the American colonies. By the latter part of the 17th century, the militias had become more complex. …The structures and functions of local militias and expeditionary forces continued to evolve through the series of imperial wars of the eighteenth century.” -James Biser Whisker (“Introduction”)
