Liberal American history books conceal the instrumental role played by militias in helping the Union defeat the Confederacy. If history books mention the northern militias at all, it is using misleading terms such as volunteer commanders.

Line 1: Line 1:

A '''militia''' is an informal, part-time, or temporary armed force which differs from conventional [[military]] forces in that its members are generally regarded as [[civilian]]s mobilized in an emergency. The [[British]] [[Home Guard]] during the [[Second World War]] was a militia force.

[[Liberal]] [[American]] history books conceal the instrumental role played by militias in helping the [[Union]] defeat the [[Confederacy]]. If history books mention the northern militias at all, it is using misleading terms such as volunteer commanders. [[George Armstrong Custer|George Custer]] was one such volunteer "general" who played a key role in trapping [[Robert E. Lee]] for his surrender at the [[Battle of Appomattox Court House]].

Militias generally operate only on their home territory. However, formations such as the [[United States]] [[National Guard]] and the British [[Territorial Army]] serve as adjuncts to the regular forces and may be deployed overseas, and are not militias.
