Rejected bills, 1808-1870, 1808-1870

27.75 cubic feet
Abstract Or Scope

They consist of records that chronologically follow what are commonly called the "Connecticut Archives"3 and are closely related to General Assembly Papers, 1803-1870, bulk 1821-1870.4 The papers described here cover the years 1808-1870. . Thomas Day succeeded Samuel Wyllys as Secretary of the State in 1810 and this change of administration may have led to the division between Rejected Bills and General Assembly Papers. The 1870 closing date was chosen because it was about the time of the end of post-Civil War legislation to promote civil rights and to care for disabled veterans.
