Was the minute men the militia during the revolutionary war?
They were a part of the militia. In every colony except Pennsylvania, every male between 18 and 60 was part of the militia. He had to provide himself with a weapon and equipment, and muster several times a year for drills. In the New England states, as tensions grew in the year or two before the Revolution started, militia units began forming "minute companies", of young, strong men, who were to be prepared to drop whatever they were doing and hurry to the militia rallying point agreed to before hand, at a minutes notice.
What is Ohio Guard militia?
Ohio Guard may be a shortened form of Ohio National Guard. Under the Militia Act of 1903, the National Guard is identified as the organised militia, and are considered as such during periods of non-activation and state activation, but become federal soldiers when activated at the federal level. It may also be an informal name for Ohio's State Guard force, properly known as the Ohio Military Reserve. A State Guard force is an indigenous militia raised by a state governor, and which are not under the federal web which the National Guard is under. These units typically serve as auxiliaries to the National Guard, and are often oriented more towards CERT and disaster response than they are towards actual military/paramilitary activity. Not all states have raised such forces, and not all forces calling themselves "State Guards", "State Defence Forces", etc. are organised as legitimate State Guard Forces under the governor. See the related Wikipedia link at the bottom for more information on State Guard Forces. While I've found a number of private militias which exist in Ohio (at least on paper), I'm unable to find any reference to any such organisation calling itself the Ohio Guard.

How were loyalist affected by the American revolution?
Loyalists were favoured by the British government, which did it's best to protect them, but they were still often harrassed (extensively) by rebels. After the outbreak of hostilities during the American Revolution, some loyalists joined militia units to fight for the Crown, while still others enlisted as regulars.
Can the governor control the state militia in war time?
Which state militia? The Militia Act of 1903 defined two types of militia - the Organised Militia, and the Unorganised Militia. The Organised Militia was defined, essentially, as the National Guard. In wartime, federal control trumps state control of these troops, and state governors have no ability anymore to refuse deployment of their National Guard personnel. Some states have their own state militias, as well, known as State Guards, State Defence Forces, etc. It's generally assumed that these cannot be federalised, although something of a grey area exists here insofar as implementation of the Insurrection Act goes. Additionally, membership in one of these units does not exempt persons in them from being drafted into the federal military.

Who were the first minute men that fought and British regulars?
The "minute men " were a special units within the general militia. They were more like our rangers or seals of today. The first minute men unit to engage the British was in Concord. We have done a disservice to these brave men by not recognizing them as a special unit in the revolution. Usually the term "minute man" is used to refer to the entire militia and that is not what they were.
What was problems of the American Revolution?
When they were forced to defend themselves in their quest for independence the Patriots did not have a Navy. They had miles of coastline to defend and did not even own a single armed merchantman and they had no concept of how to build a ship of the line and no weapons with which to arm it. They had far more troops then they had muskets. Those that owned firearms had no shot or gunpowder. The militia units were poorly equipped and trained. They were willing to fight, but had nothing to fight with.
