Interesting history, I assumed that local militia was only formed when hostile Native American war parties were a threat.

An interesting article. I didn't find anything that came as a surprise.

Personally, I believe that establishing a local militia would go far in re-establishing a foundation for community cohesiveness, which is obviously something that any government entity would not be in favor of encouraging.
