This book is a compilation of official colonial records which describe the formation of the Council of Safety, established in 1775 at the start of the American Revolutionary War. Within these pages, one finds an exploration of Connecticut's relationship with the British monarchy during this period of unrest. The Council of Safety, formed by Connecticut's General Assembly shortly after the outbreak of hostilities at Lexington and Concord, assumed many powers previously held by the British Crown, acting as an independent governing body for the colony. This book provides an in-depth look at the evolving position of Connecticut within the British Empire and the growing movement towards American independence.
