Connecticut is your colony! Not only do we have the world's first constitution, but our government is all about the consent of the men in our colony! diaz9521 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854546218 2021-10-29 18:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854546218 gershengoren6804 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854556075 Connecticut is full of opportunities for all kinds of people.

Our beautiful forests, gleaming sea, and powdery winters could be the place for you! ]]> 2021-10-29 18:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854556075 diaz9521 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854564630 2021-10-29 18:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854564630 We make sure to separate our religious codes from the colonial laws. We're also strong advocates of our properties and take pride in our religious freedom. pappas6805 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854568531 2021-10-29 18:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854568531 Colonists (like YOU) love Farming in Connecticut! Some crops you can grow are corn, pumpkins, beans, apples, and squash. You can also raise cattle for beef and milk. Not interested? Colonists such as you also can get food (specifical meat) by game hunting, but if you aren't interested in any food-based jobs, another job you can choose is weaving or building houses, which are built with logs from the ecosystem/environment around you. nazziola5990 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854569168 2021-10-29 18:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854569168 pappas6805 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854569996 2021-10-29 18:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854569996 Thomas Hooker Traveled to the Americas/Connecticut for religious freedoms, since he followed Puritan Principles. After he arrived in the Americas, he swiftly and quickly left the colony of Massachusetts, due to the lack of democracy. He then left for the colony of Connecticut to create great religious freedoms. nazziola5990 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854570765 2021-10-29 18:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854570765 Our area was claimed by the Dutch explorer Adrian Block in 1614. Then later claimed by an Englishman from Massachusetts named John Oldham in 1633. This caused a bit of an argument between the Dutch and England, but luckily England won. This cleared the way for colonists fleeing from persecution in Massachusetts, like our lovely founder Thomas Hooker. He, a Puritan minister, fulfilling religious destinies, came to Connecticut in June of 1636. diaz9521 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854577872 2021-10-29 18:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854577872 gershengoren6804 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854580831 Connecticut has a very fair government. In fact, we even created the world's first written constitution. In this system, honest men elect a representative for their town, six magistrates, and one governor. In this system, colonists like you always have a say in your leaders and government!]]> 2021-10-29 18:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854580831 diaz9521 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854583027 2021-10-29 18:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1854583027 nazziola5990 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1859458263 2021-11-01 17:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1859458263 gershengoren6804 https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1859503170 Our winters are beautiful and we always come together to brave through them. Even if they are a little colder, we work with each other to survive. Currently, the colony is engaged in a war against the Natives, but there is no doubt that we will triumph over them and emerge victorious! ]]> 2021-11-01 18:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/diaz9521/4q0nsss5211l1h5/wish/1859503170 We welcome anyone who worships the lord!
