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.

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.
