- This video recounts the history of Connecticut. It begins with the indigenous peoples that made the settled along the Connecticut River, tells the story of European colonization and settlement first by the Dutch and later by the British. It continues with this process including several wars between the natives and English. It continues with the American Revolution, Civil War and the process of Connecticut becoming a major manufacturing center. It then looks at its transformation in the 20th century, its political scandals and population changes.
This could have been a 10/10 but you never brought up P.T.Barnum "The Greatest Showman". He served as mayor and also fought for abolition. other than that, great information, loved it.
Fair enough!
Seems irrelevant.
My family hosted the circuses in Waterford and I have a bunch of photos from them coming in by train and my family, putting the circus up on their property and their homes. My grandmother has handwritten stories about our family, making them food and taking care of them.

Two things to check out , the First Anti Slavery sentiment exhibited by my ancestor Isaac Willey near Saybrook Ct. who was charged twice for causing the escape of slaves. (Pequots) around 1640. Other relatives by marriage include the Douglas Family of New London who in time would produce Fredrick Douglass the Little Giant, who debated Lincoln in his presidential campaign against Slavery. Douglass would also be on of the Lawyers representing the Amistad Ship of escaped slaves. As my family moved away from Ct. they sold land to the ATTIS family better known at Ottis who in time moved to NYC and invented the elevator.
Connecticut is like Massachusetts, without Cape. Cod or nice beaches, and no big city. Connecticut usually passes whatever law Massachusetts passed two years ago.
This is a foolish statement.
It's almost exactly two years after mass every time 😂. We're Massachusetts's followers.
What,No "The Angel Of Hadley"Hiding Out In Hartford?
one of the best states in the union. please dont tell anybody.
Nice to see some state pride on here.
Agreed. Love my state.
It really is a Great Place
i live in ct and let me tell you it gets worse by the day. ct needs to go back to our roots. a lot of us are growing our own food even raising our own animals because the grocery stores no longer make sense. don't even get me started on gas and oil. ct was a place that once thrived. there were jobs everywhere. cost of living was decent. the higher up decided there pockets were more important than the people. but the people can no longer say we are the backbone of the state. what ct needs is a leader that is here for the people not for the fame and a check. schools don't even have trade skills classes anymore. when i was in school they taught carpentry , home economics, automotive skills, even basic electrical. what happened to us? why aren't we holding them accountable for the way things are? everything is social media and views. where is our sense of pride? if not for us but for our little ones. it is our responsibility that our young ones are taught more than just how to scroll. what will you do to help? how will you be remembered?
Great state to live in these days people on mass could learn
A lesson
From us fantastic people from

“Tragedy and exploitation, but also ingenuity” 🙄
Ingenuity refers to the period that made Connecticut a manufacturing and insurance powerhouse which attracted immigrants who also brought ingenuity.
@ i was referring to the opening primarily referring to the history of a wealthy American state primarily being a tragedy rather than "wealth, success, and ingenuity, but also exploitation..."
@@petercrinkle6389 I know exactly what you were referring to. You are referring to this: "The Connecticut story has its share of tragedy and exploitation but also of ingenuity and the steadfastness of a people that even when reinventing themselves have retained a strong sense of independence. To see why, join me for this brief look at the history and politics of Connecticut."
I had to summarize the state's history in a few sentences and that's what the ingenuity part was referring to.
Apparently, its all about the indians.
???
Well yeah they were 100% of the population until like 400-500 years ago
