I'm not so sure the two versions are that different. What, exactly, would a state do with an "organized militia?" Why, I'm willing to bet it involved tracking and subduing, er, "the help" that might have, er, initiated a "work stoppage" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_rebellion#North_American_slave_revolts) and attempted to, um, "relocate to a nicer neighborhood."
