"General History of Connecticut, from Its First Settlement Under George Fenwick…" by Samuel Peters is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work chronicles the settlement and development of Connecticut, providing insights into the motivations, claims, and actions of its early colonizers, while also examining their relationships with Indigenous peoples. With its exploration of social, political, and religious dynamics, the book serves as a critical reflection on the complexities of colonization in North America. The opening of this historical account sets the stage by addressing the lack of comprehensive literature on Connecticut, noting the tendency of historians to overshadow it with narratives focused on Massachusetts. Peters outlines his intention to reveal the truths about Connecticut's early settlers and the realities they faced, asserting the importance of fair representation. As he critiques the earlier historians for their biases, he introduces the key figures involved, such as George Fenwick and Thomas Peters, who played significant roles in the colony's establishment. This preface emphasizes not only the historical context of Connecticut but also Peters's motivations to challenge prevailing narratives and provide a balanced account of its history.
