Who are the members of the colonial militias?
The members of the colonial militias came from all classes of society. The first colonial militia was formed in 1636, 140 years before the American Revolution. The Massachusetts General Court, the colonials' governing body in that colony, required that all able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 60 join the militia. (There were exceptions for ministers, judges, some master craftsmen and ship masters, etc. so in practice the militia had a higher proportion of the working class than the population in general.) Members of the militia were required to meet to train regularly and be ready to fight when needed. The purpose of the militia was to protect the colonies against attack from Native Americans, to be ready to fight foreign invasion, and to keep order in the towns and villages.The "Redcoats" were the soldiers of the regular British Army, who wore fancy bright red uniforms.
Who differed from militias in that it was made up of mostly full-time soldiers?
The Continental Army differed from militias as it was composed mainly of professional soldiers who served full-time during the American Revolutionary War. Militias, on the other hand, consisted of part-time or volunteer citizen-soldiers who were called to service as needed.
What job in the colonial times made the most amount money?
The merchants did. They sold almost everything and could even open up stores.
Is militia another word for military?
Militias can be military groups, but they are not the same thing. In colonial times, the militias were citizen-soldiers who were called up to defend their local regions or states. With the development of a national army, the militias became the irregular armed forces within a state. These were combined as the National Guard in 1903. Some states used the term militia to refer to enforcement bodies (state police). The most current use is for private, unsanctioned paramiltary groups in various areas of the US. Many of these are right-wing groups with pro-gun-ownership platforms.
