My understanding is the militias were totally inept and ineffective. The New York militia had its ass handed to it on an attempt to engage with armies in Canada.

Perhaps at times, but it was all militia that engaged the British troops on April 19, 1775.

They were weren’t they. Although those were not large engagements, but point taken.
