Connecticut is bordered by two major East Coast states, Massachusetts and New York, and serves as a suburb for many of their city workers. Connecticut has been historically important due to its major waterways and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. Native Americans of Connecticut belonged to many of the Algonquian Indian family, the Pequot tribe being the strongest.
Connecticut played a prominent role in the Revolutionary War, serving as the Continental Army's major supplier. Sometimes called the “Arsenal of the Nation,†the state became one of the most industrialized in the nation. During the American Revolution, Connecticut gave freely of her blood and wealth. Her soldiers were on the battle line from Quebec to Carolina. It was General Israel Putnam at the battle of Bunker Hill who cried: "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" Patriot-spy Nathan Hale, as he was about to be hanged by the British, said: "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
The measurements and elements of the Connecticut Flag are according to the criteria chose by the Connecticut Flag Law. On a splendid purplish blue field, there is a brightening agent white shield. The state calls this the ornate outline, which is set apart by incredible bands and elaborate marks.
The shield bears the pictures of 3 grape vines supporting 3 bunches of dark grapes. The rims of the shield are decorated with groups of acorns and white oak leaves. Below the emblem, a cleft white ribbon with brown and gold borders, bears the state motto of Connecticut. Written on it is Qui Transtulit Sustinet or "He who transplanted still sustains".
The basic flag design in use today was first displayed at the time of the American Revolution (1775â€"83), although the background colour then was red. During the Civil War (1861â€"65) blue was the standard background shade for regimental colours, and many citizens thought of those military flags as representative of the state. Consequently, a flag with a blue background was later flown over the state capitol during sessions of the legislature. That design was the basis for a recommendation to the legislature that resulted in the adoption of the current flag in June 1897.
The Connecticut Flag is typical of the historical backdrop of the state and bears the sublime Arms of the State on either side. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development of the Connecticut Flag by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
