Support for a Standing Army in Revolutionary 18th Century
America
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the problems and
controversy associated with the development of a standing army
during America’s Revolutionary War. Many, if not most, of the
Founders of the country wanted the United States to be defended
by a small, professional military and a large people’s militia.
It had already been proven in Europe that the kind of discipline
provided by regular regiments represented a dramatic change in
the warfare of the eighteenth century. And yet, the idea of a
standing army resulted in a great deal of controversy.
