☆☆☆☆☆Minutemen were members of teams of select men from the American colonial militia during the American Revolutionary War. They provided a highly mobile, rapidly deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to threats (hence the name). The Minutemen were among the first people to fight in the American Revolution. These teams constituted about a fourth of the entire militia, and generally were the younger and more mobile, serving as part of a network for early response. Minuteman and Sons of Liberty member Paul Revere spread the news that "the Redcoats are coming." Paul Revere was captured before completing his mission when the British marched towards the arsenal in Lexington and Concord to collect the weapons stored there.
The states actually had the most power under the Articles of Confederation. This did not prove workable for the federal government, and this eventually led to the Constitutional Convention.
