Let me introduce you to Long Connecticut. Connecticut and Pennsylvania fought three wars over this strip of land, and Uncle Sam gave that land to Pennsylvania. Even so, Connecticut managed to hold on to this completely disconnected piece of land on Lake Eerie that was nearly the size of Connecticut itself until the year 1800. What do you think should’ve happened? Personally I think it’d be great to have two Connecticuts that are almost 400 miles apart, or we could let Connecticut go all the way from sea to shining sea, taking over Cleveland, Chicago, and two state capitals in the process. #shorts
