The purpose of this paper is to examine the roles played by both Relative Deprivation Theory and Resource Mobilization Theory in the formation of the militias that were crucial in winning the American Revolution. Early psychological theories about revolution derived from frustration-aggression theory, that is, the theory put forth by Freud that all aggression derives from frustration. In A Model of Egotistical Relative Deprivation, Fay Crosby presents the following model for relative deprivation theory: "The person who lacks X must 1) see that someone else (Other) possesses X" 2) want X" 3) feel entitled to X" 4) think it feasible to obtain X" and, 5) lack a sense of personal responsibility for not having X."
