In honor of today's holiday, we wanted to share a few fun facts about our great state's role in shaping American history:
*
George
Washington
nicknamed
Connecticut
‘the
Provision
State’
during
the
Revolutionary
War.
We
earned
that
title
by
supplying
food
and
cannons
to
the
Continental
Army.
*
Nutmegger
Robert
Sherman
was
the
only
Founding
Father
to
sign
all
four
of
America’s
founding
documents
(The
Continental
Association,
The
Articles
of
Confederation,
The
Declaration
of
Independence,
and
The
Constitution)
*
The
Connecticut
Compromise
helped
create
our
current
two-house
congress
system.
*
The
famous
quote,
“My
only
regret
is
that
I
have
but
one
life
to
give
for
my
country”
was
said
by
Nathan
Hale
of
Coventry,
Connecticut.
Nathan
was
an
American
Patriot,
soldier,
and
spy
who
was
hanged
by
the
British
in
1776.
In
1985,
he
was
officially
designated
the
state
hero
of
Connecticut.
Connecticut has a long history of fighting for our freedoms, and it’s a history your CT Dems pledge to always continue. As we see the growing MAGA extremism both here in our own state, and across the country as a whole, we know that people like you will always stand up for the values that make our Party and our county stronger.
From all of us at the CT Dems, we hope you have a wonderful day celebrating our nation and our state today, and we hope you will take an extra moment today to raise a glass in honor of those early Americans who started this great American experiment, and to all of those who have continued it.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Best,
Your Connecticut Democratic Party
