Militiamen were non-professional fighters. They were what the bulk of the American Army was made of. Without them, we would never have even had a chance in the war. Since they were not trained they could never get a good formation. If they had never of fought, we wouldn't have gotten the French to fight on our side. The only reason they could do as much as they did was because they were fighting for freedom.
