The main objective of the militias formation (as well as the strength and state of the island's fortifications) derived from a concern over external attack by foreign forces, particularly the French. The suppression of slave revolts was also a great concern of the planter class and, in the earlier periods, revolts by white indentured servants, notably the Irish.
