One of the first things you need to know is the term “minutemen “ refers to a specific group of men within colonial militias. They were like the special forces of their time. The Bridge at Concord is considered the first battle of the war in 1775, but independence wasn’t declared until 1776.

∙ 9y ago- The American Minuteman has its origins in the founding of this country's militia, the original "citizen soldiers" we now call the "National Guard." This group actually began in 1636 -- quite a bit earlier than most people realize. During the Revolutionary War, "The Minutemen" were the citizens who were willing to take up arms, on a minute's notice, to defend their homes and their families from the British.
