After the British Navy kept enslaving Americans for their war machines!
BONUS MILITIA SUPERIORITY BONUS ROUND:
Numerous militias refused to cross into Canadian territory because while they agreed with the stated goals they thought trying to conquer the territory was wrong and not to their actual benefit.
But you’re right. The citizen militia conceit relies on regular training and broadly popular support, and America was lacking in both. It worked in the classical republics because the society was structured to prioritize it and America was not.
