The story behind it
Jonathan Trumbull Sr. was the governor of Connecticut and the only governor in office before the war who sided with the Revolution, and Connecticut sent huge amounts of food, clothing and supplies to the Continental Army. A later legend links him to the nickname Brother Jonathan, which became an early cartoon figure for America.
