Product Details:

Massachusetts Militia by Charles M. Lefferts depicts the members of the Massachusetts Militia who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, particularly in the early battles against the British. As one of the oldest colonial militias, it laid the foundation for the Continental Army and helped secure American independence. The militia system in Massachusetts dates back to the 17th century when colonists were required to serve in local defense forces. Massachusetts' militia system became a model for the larger Continental Army, influencing military organization in the young United States. Their experience in local defense and guerrilla tactics was crucial in early battles, allowing American forces to adapt and ultimately succeed against the British.
