“all the Free White Males capable of bearing Arms … irrespective of Nationality”
Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there’s room;
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve then come?
‘Twas the same love that spread the feast,
That sweetly forced us in,
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
~ Isaac Watts

The Louisiana Native Guard began as a NON-Confed “”regiment”" of free black BOYZ, but when New Orleans fell to Onion troops, the regiment disbanded. In need of reinforcements the YANKEE Army called for all blackConfedZ “”soldiers”" to join. In September 1862, the 1st Regiment of the Louisiana Native Guard was formed.

[THE ANTI-FEDERALISTS WARNED Y'ALL: "Have we the means of resisting disciplined armies, when our only defence, the militia, is put in the hands of Congress?" ~ Patrick Henry]
Rednex Rants: The Second Amendment and the meaning of Militia
By Rednex
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Never in history have 27 words sparked so much debate and controversy. What is the true meaning of these words? What did the framers have in mind when they made this the 2nd amendment of the constitution? While all will agree that the basis of this amendment is to provide the right for American people to keep and bear arms, the phrase “well regulated militia” has put into play the question of exactly “which” Americans should have that right.
Personally, I am a strict Constitutionalist. I believe that our Founding Fathers were men far beyond their time when it came to the establishment of history’s most successful and free government, therefore, we should strictly adhere to their words with little to no interpretation. However, I also realize that none of the Founding Fathers are alive today to tell of their intent, so some interpretation must be made.
Gun control advocates surmise that the words “well regulated militia” intends to limit gun rights to only those that are actively participate in State militia’s, meaning military groups raised and controlled by the States. Gun control opponents however, contend that the phrase is meant in a general sense, applying to all “able bodied people”.
To fully understand, I think we have to look at the timing and purpose of two of this country’s most important documents: The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The US Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, and laid the foundation for the legal authority for the existence of the United States of America, as well as, establishing the framework defining the relationship between the federal government, the states, and it’s citizens. The Bill of Rights, or the first 10 amendments, was proposed by James Madison and went into effect four years later on December 15, 1791, as an answer to State concerns that threatened the ratification of the US Constitution due to a belief that the Constitution failed to safe guard the basic principals of human liberty.
That being said, the 2nd amendment was meant to amend the constitution so as to protect a liberty sought after by the states. The exact provision(s) of the constitution that were to be amended were as follows:
The powers of Congress:
To provide for the calling forth the milita to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrection and repel Invasions
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15
To provide for the organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16
The powers of the President:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States
Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1
So what about these provisions so offended the states that an amendment was needed to allow for ratification? Well, we have to look at history to fully understand. We, as a Country, were just coming out of the Revolutionary war. The term “militia” during this time, meant the same as it did within the text of the constitution, which was a group of trained citizen soldiers under the control of the government (king), to be used in times when a standing army was not present. If you read the words of the constitution, the founders had the same meaning here. In addition, we must remember that Cornwallis used the meaning to disarm the citizens, by stating that a militia was not necessary as the British Army was present for the defense of the states. Had American citizens relinquished their arms as mandated by Cornwallis and not fought, the Revolutionary war may have ended very differently. The states were very aware of this fact and wished to prevent a second coming of this denial of liberty. It was a belief that armed citizens WERE the method by which to regulate a specialized militia.
…
Lastly, we as citizens, must stand to ensure that this right is left preserved wholly and completely. Gun control in any form is an attack upon our freedom. Many will say that gun rights are plausible, but that a limitation of type of arms should be enforced. Make no mistake that this reasoning is also an attack and lessening of the power. To allow a limitation of arms, is in essence, the disarming of the people. Do I believe that common man should be allowed the use of “military” type weaponry? Yes I do! If we allowed the government to limit the type of arms available, then we are left defenseless against all attack. Should congress state that the allowance of a sling shot constitutes a right to arms, but limits our ability to maintain auto/semi automatic rifles, then what chance do the citizens have against a standing army, either domestic or foreign? We, as citizens, must take the stance to prevent this erosion of our liberty. To stand by and not fight delivers us to the yoke of oppression of which we will have no recourse. It is my opinion that the Framers made this amendment second only to the right to free speech for a specific reason. They did so because of the sheer importance it has to perseverance of free men.
