Analysis
Religion and Economy Analysis:Since it was only Puritan, any or all Puritans that were victims of religious persecution. Only Puritans were allowed to settle/live in Massachusetts. No other religions were tolerated by the Puritans, so Connecticut was only Puritan. The economy is agriculture and fishing because Connecticut is right by the coast and has access to the ocean. Also, Connecticut had decent farmland for farming.
Founding Effect Analysis: Connecticut was founded so that state and church could be separate, so people with the same beliefs moved there. Connecticut was also founded in order to give land-owners a chance to vote. This affected Connecticut because it persuaded land-owners to come there, so they could have suffrage.
