Unfortunately, while militiamen showed willingness to fight, they were untrained, undisciplined, and ill-equipped. These raw volunteers had no muskets, and many did not know how to use the weapons once they had been issued. Though established by the Constitution, state militias found themselves wholly unprepared for war. The federal government was empowered to use these militias to ""execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions; 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yWar of 1812$xManpower 607 $aUnited States$xMilitia$xHistory$yWar of 1812 676 $a973.5/2 700 $aSkeen$b Carl Edward$01623579 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808353403321 996 $aCitizen soldiers in the War of 1812$94053719 997 $aUNINA
