Civil War Militia (U.S. Civil War) The Civil War Militia refers to the citizen-soldiers who played crucial roles in the American Civil War, primarily during its early stages before federal armies were well-established. These militias were often organized and armed by local governments or communities in response to the outbreak of conflict. Their service varied greatly, ranging from providing essential security at home fronts to participating in major battles. Unlike professional Union and Confederate armies, Civil War Militia units had varying degrees of training, discipline, and equipment, contributing to their unique roles within the broader military landscape during the U.S. Civil War.
