CONNECTICUT was named Quinnehtukqut by the
Native Americans for the "great tidal river" that splits it in two before
spilling out into the Long Island Sound and washing the old whaling ports
of the coast. This small and densely populated state is a sort of
conservative, high-rent suburb of New York City, enabling commuters to
earn Big Apple salaries while avoiding New York state and city taxes. Its
first white settlers arrived in the 1630s: refugees from Massachusetts
seeking liberty, good farmland and trading opportunities. Connecticut soon
became a center for " Yankee ingenuity ," prospering through the invention
and marketing (often by the notorious and not always honorable Yankee
peddlers) of many a useful little household object. Although hit very
badly by English raids in the Revolutionary War, its role in providing the
war effort with crucial supplies made it known as "the provisions state ."
After the war, the original charter of Connecticut's first colonists was
used as a model for the American Constitution and gave rise to another
nickname: "the Constitution state ." |
