Virginia Militia
British colonies in America formed military forces called militias, comprised mostly of free, white, able-bodied male citizens who could be called to service during local emergencies. The colonial militias played an important role in the struggle for independence, but then, as now, not without some misunderstanding.
Administered by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia that is accredited by the American Association of Museums.
