The idea of a militia is earlier, but the first militias raised in North America were to assist the British in the French and Indian War. When the American Revolution began, more militias were raised to assist the Continental Army against the British. By the time of the American Civil War militias had gone out of style, and most generals used them for simple tasks like guarding prisoners because they lacked the discipline to fight effectively against trained enemy soldiers.
