Two historical figures that lived in Connecticut. I will always have a soft part in my head for Connecticut history, especially the not so popular view.
John Brown, a fanatic certainly, rabble rouser for sure, he took his view of religion to the full extent. However, even though only some believe in what he did, my view was he was right for the right reason. He did not believe it right to enslave any group of people--very modern -hey what?
Benedict Arnold did commit treason, as one who views the laws strictly, he was a traitor. But he served more than honorably and was seriously wounded in a battle his actions won, and another got the credit. Washington ignored his pleas. Arnold's spouse pushed a French (lover?) man in his direction toward treason. He was part of a miss adventure into Quebec Prov to ignite the French Canadian against the British in which his troop paid dearly for a bad decisions by another that carried Arnold into Canada.
