It’s PAArty Time!! Connecticut Recognized as a Colony
They should have renamed the colony ConnectiCUTIE!!!
John Winthrop, Jr., the son of the founding governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, followed in daddy’s footsteps. Connecticut, which was unrecognized by the crown, was scared it would lose its independence and be sucked into total control like other New England colonies. So, JW Jr. sweet-talked the English attorney general into granting Connecticut a legal charter with an UNUSUAL degree of self-government.
The real question is, what did JW Jr. do to get the English attorney to agree to such liberal terms???
Hmmm, we will leave that one to your imagination….
We know ours sure is wandering!!!
