"Right now, we are fighting an illegal war. As commander and chief of the Illinois National Guard, I will order our brave men and woman home to Illinois." I will not give up authority over those troops to the president until we have a Declaration of War by Congress."

The federally-controlled National Guard as we know it was officially created in 1916.

The wiki article claims it grew out of citizen militias of olden days

I think it more likely it was established to protect and enforce the Federal Reserve System.
