    You: militias were originally to fight off Hessian and British soldiers of oppression Other poster: no, they were started well before that You: Have you HEARD how savage those Indians were though??!?!

      The other poster said that militas were made to "kill Indians". I'm saying that it is very likely were designed to defend against them. Do we deny that many of these societies were militaristic tribes? Do we deny history? Besides the fact that the colonial militias had military use because Britain wasn't the only imperial power in the region. Washington, for example, led a Virginia militia against the French way before the Revolutionary War. Is that really that off topic?

        Tell me more about the Hessian soldiers you were talking about.
