Minutemenwere members of teams of select men from the American colonial partisan militia during the American revolutionary war. They provided a highly mobile, rapidly deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to war threats.
The minutemen were among the first people to fight in the American Revolution. Their teams constituted about a quarter of the entire militia. Generally younger and more mobile, they served as part of a network for early response.
