Years: 1654 - 1654
An uneasy competition rules the relations between the New Haven Colony and the Connecticut River settlements centered on Hartford.
The colony publishes a complete legal code in 1656, but the law remains very much church-centered.
A major difference between the New Haven and Connecticut colonies is that the Connecticut permits other churches to operate on the basis of "sober dissent" while the New Haven Colony only permits the Puritan church to exist.
