Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the how and why of the establishment of a militia in Pennsylvania and the frontier in the 1700s. An incident in Delaware started the movement to secure a military organization to defend Philadelphia. This organization, known as associators, organized to learn the military art and defend the colony. This movement made its way to the frontier county of York. This small initial militia became engrained into the fabric of liberty of the inhabitants in the years leading up to the declaration of the colonies for independence. Establishing a militia in a Quaker-dominated state was very difficult. Arms had to be procured, training rules set, and expenses paid. No easy task, with the Assembly opposed to supporting the militia on religious grounds. York County was no different. The largest population were Germans, who opposed to bearing arms against anyone, who joined with the Quaker leadership, who supported their religious beliefs. Several other ethnic groups were willing to bear arms to defend their homeland against foreign intervention. That combination of differences started the discord that was an issue for the years leading up to the revolution and continued through to the end of the war. There have been attempts to write this story and clarify the history and the records. This is the latest attempt to explain the issues of the associators and the eventual founding of a state-supported militia during the darkest days of the revolutionary era.

Download or read book Embodying the Militia in Georgian England written by Matthew McCormack and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The militia was a key institution in Georgian England, and arguably one that was very characteristic of its age. A 'militia' is an informal military organisation made up of part-time civilians rather than professionals. As an island, Britain had historically relied on forces of this type for home defence, but threats of a French invasion during the Seven Years War (1756-63) highlighted that the militia had fallen into disrepair and prompted calls for its revival. In this important new study, Matthew McCormack re-examines the debates on the militia, and argues that this military reform was informed and driven by concerns about politics, nationalism, and gender. The militia tells us a great deal about the political culture of the eighteenth century, which was suspicious of professional armies and executive power, and which placed great emphasis on the liberties and masculine attributes of the ordinary citizen. Its advocates even suggested that mass military service would prompt a reinvigoration of English masculinity. The Militia Act passed into law in 1757. From this date until the New Militia's slow demise after the Napoleonic Wars, Embodying the Militia in Georgian England considers civilian men's experience of military service. How was the militia 'embodied' - both in the contemporary sense of assembling for service, and also as a gendered bodily experience? Chapters explore questions such as physical training, masculine honour, material culture, self-identity, and citizenship. As such, the volume's interdisciplinary approaches offer new perspectives on the history of war.
