For much of its early history, the colony and later state of Connecticut had two capitals: Hartford and New Haven. In 1873, the public voted to have Hartford be its sole capital. A prominent factor in the decision was Trinity College donating part of its land to be part of the capital building. For some reason, what impact would Connecticut (and possibly the rest of New England and the northeast USA) face had the public gone the other way and voted New Haven as the sole capital?
