	Connecticut's Heritage Gateway
		The Dominion of New England served as the backdrop for one of the most dramatic episodes in Connecticut history, the hiding of the Charter in the "Charter Oak."

		The intent was to annul all colonial charters and join the New England Colonies and New York into a "Dominion of New England" ruled by Sir Edmund Andros.

		The New England flag, used in colonial times [and noted at Logan Airport, Boston], was a red ensign with the Cross of St. George in the canton.
