Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding;
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee doodle, keep it up,
Yankee doodle dandy;
Mind the musie and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion,
A-giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.

And then the feathers on his hat,
They looked so' tarnal fin-a,
I wanted pockily to get
To give to my Jemima.

And then we saw a swamping gun,
Large as a log of maple;
Upon a deuced little cart,
A load for father's cattle.
And every time they shoot it off,
It takes a horn of powder;
It makes a noise like father's gun,
Only a nation louder.

I went as nigh to one myself,
As' Siah's underpinning;
And father went as nigh agin,
I thought the deuce was in him.

We saw a little barrel, too,
The heads were made of leather;
They knocked upon it with little clubs,
And called the folks together.

And there they'd fife away like fun,
And play on cornstalk fiddles,
And some had ribbons red as blood,
All bound around their middles.

The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces;
It scared me almost to death
To see them run such races.

Uncle Sam came there to change
Some pancakes and some onions,
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.

But I can't tell half I see
They kept up such a smother;
So I took my hat off, made a bow,
And scampered home to mother.

Cousin Simon grew so bold,
I thought he would have cocked it;
It scared me so I streaked it off,
And hung by father's pocket.

And there I saw a pumpkin shell,
As big as mother's basin;
And every time they touched it off,
They scampered like the nation.

Yankee doodle, keep it up,
Yankee doodle dandy;
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy

The Connecticut State Seal has changed over the years, but it still has similarities to some of the older versions of the state’s seals. The original seal had 15 grapevines on it and the motto “Sustinet Qui Transtulit” (He Who Transplanted Still Sustains). That seal was carried over to this country from England in 1639. The words “Sigillum Coloniae Connecticensis” (Seal of the Connecticut Colony) were added as the seal underwent revisions in later years. After the Revolutionary War, as Connecticut gained statehood, the legend was changed to “Sigillum Reipublicae Connecticutensis” (Seal of Republic of Connecticut). The motto “Sustinet Qui Transtulit” remains the same as on the original. And some of those grape vines that were a prominent feature of the older seals made it to the current seal (three are on the present one).

History

The state of Connecticut, in New England, is a vital part of the industrial and transportation corridor of the northeastern United States. One of the smallest U.S. states, it is bordered by Massachusetts on the north, Rhode Island on the east, Long Island Sound (an arm of the Atlantic Ocean) on the south, and New York on the west. Within its borders there is a rich variety of cultural and natural environments--the population is more ethnically diverse than homogeneous, and the physical landscape is one of broad river valleys, sandy and rocky coastline, and thickly forested uplands. The peacefulness of seaside marshes and villages and high-technology industrial parks stands in sharp contrast to the brisk activity of heavy manufacturing along the coast. Hartford, an inland city on the Connecticut River, is the capital. The name Connecticut is derived from the Algonquian Indian word quinnehtukqut, meaning "beside the long tidal river."

When, early in the 17th century, the first Europeans arrived in present-day Connecticut, the area was sparsely inhabited by about 20,000 Algonquian-speaking Indians, most of whom lived along the coast. Among Connecticut Indians were the Pequot, who lived near the Thames River, and the closely related Mohegan (written about by James Fenimore Cooper in The Last of the Mohicans); the Niantic; the Quinnipiac; and the Wangunk. Adriaen Block, a Dutch navigator, discovered the Connecticut River in 1614 and claimed the region for the Dutch. A small Dutch trading fort, named the House of Hope, was built in 1633 near the site of modern Hartford, but it was soon abandoned. Meanwhile, English settlers from the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony established outlying settlements at Wethersfield, Saybrook, Windsor, and other places. The Pequot Indians tried to prevent the whites from settling, but they were soundly defeated in the Pequot War (1637). The settlements of Hartford, Wethersfield, and Windsor joined together to form the Connecticut Colony, which adopted (1639) the Fundamental Orders, a constitution based on democratic principles. In 1662, John Winthrop, Jr., governor of the Connecticut Colony (see Winthrop, family), obtained a royal charter that gave the colony considerable self-government and control of New Haven Colony. The latter reluctantly agreed to unite with the Connecticut

Colony in 1665. Between 1685 and 1689, James II attempted to organize New England under one government; Connecticut, however, resisted and refused to turn over its charter. Colonists are believed to have hidden (1687) the document in an oak tree in Hartford, now referred to as the Charter Oak. By the early 18th century, Connecticut farmers were producing agricultural products for export to the other American colonies, and the coastal towns carried on an extensive trade with the West Indies and provided food for sugarcane plantations there. Connecticut also became known for its clocks, silverware, tinware, and shipbuilding. By the 1770s the state had a population of nearly 200,000, most of whom favored independence from Great Britain. During the American Revolution, about 30,000 troops joined the Continental Army, and large amounts of food and provisions were contributed. Nathan Hale, from Connecticut, was hanged by the British in 1776 as a spy. A few battles were fought in Connecticut, among them skirmishes at Danbury (1777), New Haven (1779), and New London (1781). Representatives from Connecticut played an important role at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, especially in promoting the so-called Connecticut Compromise, which helped to establish the present method of apportioning representation in the U.S. Congress. On Jan. 19, 1788, Connecticut became the fifth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Most of the state's residents opposed the War of 1812, and New England representatives who opposed the war met at the Hartford Convention in 1814-15. During the first half of the 19th century, Connecticut's economy grew considerably, with manufacturing overtaking agriculture by mid-century. The state was known for its textiles (including silk), brass products, clocks, firearms (notably the repeating revolver manufactured in Hartford by Samuel Colt), shipbuilding, and rubber products. Commerce, shipping, and insurance were also important. Most residents of Connecticut opposed slavery, which was abolished in the state in 1848. During the Civil War the state sent about 55,000 men to the Union army and supplied blankets, firearms, ammunition, and numerous ships. Industry in Connecticut continued to expand after the war; meanwhile, its cities grew as immigrants arrived from Europe and Canada, many of them around the turn of the century. Numerous industries were founded during World War I, when Connecticut was a major producer of war materials, especially munitions. A U.S. naval installation (now a submarine base) was established at Groton in 1917.

The economy suffered a slump immediately after the war, however, recovering somewhat in the 1920s. The Depression of the 1930s seriously affected the state. Industrial output declined markedly, and the unemployment rate rose considerably. Some social welfare legislation (including minimum-wage and unemployment-compensation laws) was passed during the administration (1931-39) of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. The economy revived again during World War II, when submarines, aircraft engines, ball bearings, firearms, and other items crucial to the U.S. war effort were produced. Despite relative prosperity in the postwar period, some of Connecticut's older cities declined as manufacturers closed their factories or moved to other parts of the country. Resulting social problems related to crime and poverty afflicted the bigger urban centers. In the 1990s thousands of jobs were lost in defense, insurance, and other industries as the state continued to adjust to the characteristics of a postindustrial society. Nonetheless, Connecticut's per-capita income has remained among the highest in the United States. A state income tax, first adopted in 1971 and soon repealed, was adopted again in 1991.

El estado de Connecticut, en Nueva Inglaterra, es una pieza vital del pasillo industrial y del transporte de los Estados Unidos del noreste. Uno de los estados más pequeños de ESTADOS UNIDOS, es rodeado por Massachusetts en el norte, Rhode Island en el este, Long Islans (un brazo del Océano Atlántico) en el sur, y York nueva en el oeste. Dentro de sus fronteras hay una variedad rica de ambientes culturales y naturales -- la población es más étnico diversa que homogénea, y el paisaje físico es uno de la amplia línea de la costa de los valles del río, arenosa y rocosa, y forested grueso altiplanicies. Los pacíficos pantanos de la playa y las aldeas y los parques industriales de alta tecnología está parado en contraste agudo a la actividad enérgica de la fabricación pesada a lo largo de la costa. Hartford, una ciudad interior en el río de Connecticut, es el capital. El nombre Connecticut se deriva del quinnehtukqut indio de la palabra de Algonquian, significando " al lado del río de marea largo."

Cuando, a principio de 17mo siglo, los primeros europeos llegaron en Connecticut actual, el área estaba habitada por cerca de 20.000 indios Algonquian, la mayoría de quién vivió a lo largo de la costa. Entre Connecticut los indios eran el Pequot, que vivió cerca del río de Thames, y el Mohegan de cerca relacionado (escrito alrededor por el fabricante de vinos de James Fenimore en el último del Mohicans); el Niantic; el Quinnipiac; y el Wangunk. El bloque de Adriaen, un navegador holandés, descubrió el río de Connecticut en 1614 y demandó la región Holanda. Una fortaleza pequeña, LLamada La Casa de la Esperanza, fué construida en 1633 cerca del sitio de Hartford moderna, pero pronto fue abandonada. Mientras tanto, los colonos ingleses de la colonia de Plymouth y de la colonia de la bahía de Massachusetts establecieron establecimientos periféricos en Wethersfield, Saybrook, Windsor, y otros lugares. Los indios de Pequot intentaron evitar que los blancos se establecieran, pero fueron fuertemente derrotados en la guerra de Pequot (1637). Los establecimientos de Hartford, de Wethersfield, y de Windsor se unieron para formar a la colonia de Connecticut, que adoptó (1639) las órdenes fundamentales, una constitución basada en principios democráticos. En 1662, Juan Winthrop, Jr., gobernador de la colonia de Connecticut, obtuvo una carta real que dio a la colonia el gobierno autónomo y el control considerables de la colonia de New Haven. Un acuerdo más adelante New Haven se une a Connecticut.

Colonia en 1665. Entre 1685 y 1689, James II procuró organizar Nueva Inglaterra bajo un gobierno; Connecticut, sin embargo, resistió y rechazó cambiar sus estatutos. Creen que los colonos ocultaron (1687) el documento en un árbol del roble en Hartford, ahora designada el roble de la carta. Por el décimo octavo siglo, los granjeros de Connecticut producían los productos agrícolas para la exportación a las otras colonias americanas, y las ciudades costeras continuaron un comercio extenso con Indias del oeste y con tal que alimento para las plantaciones de la caña de azúcar allí. Connecticut también se conocía por sus relojes, cubiertos, artículos de estaño, y construcción naval. Por el 1770s el estado tenía una población de casi 200.000, la mayoría de quién favoreció independencia de gran Gran Bretaña. Durante la revolución americana, cerca de 30.000 tropas formaron parte ejército continental, y contribuyeron con grandes cantidades de alimento y las provisiones . Nathan Hale fué colgado por los Británicos acusado de espía. Algunas batallas fueron luchadas en Connecticut, entre ellos las escaramuzas en Danbury (1777), New Haven (1779), y New London (1781). Los representantes de Connecticut desempeñaron un papel importante en la convención constitucional de 1787, especialmente en promover el compromiso supuesto de Connecticut, que ayudó a establecer el actual método de dividir la representación en el congreso de ESTADOS UNIDOS. El 19 de enero de 1788, Connecticut se convirtió el quinto estado para ratificar la constitución de ESTADOS UNIDOS. La mayoría de los residentes del estado que se opusieron la guerra de 1812, y los representantes de Nueva Inglaterra que opusieron la guerra satisficieron en la convención de Hartford en 1814-15. Durante la primera mitad del diecinueveavo siglo, la economía de Connecticut creció considerablemente, con agricultura que alcanzaba de la fabricación por mediados de siglo. El estado era sabido para sus textiles (incluyendo seda ), los productos de cobre amarillo, los relojes, los armas de fuego (notablemente el revólver de repetición fabricado en Hartford por Samuel Colt), la construcción naval, y los productos de goma. El comercio, el envío, y el seguro eran también importantes. La mayoría de los residentes de Connecticut se opusieron la esclavitud, que fue suprimida en el estado en 1848. Durante la guerra civil el estado envió a cerca de 55.000 hombres al ejército de la unión y proveió las mantas, los armas de fuego, la munición, y las numerosas naves . La industria en Connecticut continuó ampliándose después de la guerra; mientras tanto, sus ciudades crecieron como los inmigrantes llegaron de Europa y de Canadá, muchos de ellos alrededor de la vuelta del siglo. Las numerosas industrias fueron fundadas durante la guerra mundial I, cuando Connecticut era un productor importante de los materiales de la guerra, especialmente las municiones. UN E.E.U.U.. la instalación naval (ahora una base submarina) fue establecida en Groton en 1917.
