These were the citizen soldiers of New England who became know as "Minute Men". They were organized in almost every city and town and could be summoned at a moments notice. Most of them did not have uniforms, wearing simple everyday homespun clothes and providing their own weapons. The British held them in contempt until they found that these "Minute Men" were both courageous and excellent marksmen.

Massachusetts Pine Tree Flag

The men of various towns banded together into secret societies known as "The Sons of Liberty". They customarily held their meetings under a large pine tree on the village green. The British General Gage, after hearing of this ordered the tree cut down. Much to his regret the tree then became a symbol of resistance in Massachusetts and throughout the colonies. Various militia units proudly adopted the pine tree for their regimental colors.
