Connecticut--He who is transplanted still sustains
Connecticut has been a state for a very long time, and the United States like having lots of mottos, so it makes sense that they have an old Latin motto. The motto does not have a certain origin, but it is thought to have originated from either the 80th Psalm. The 80th Psalm says "Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it." The motto represents people who moved from England to Connecticut bringing the best views of Christianity. They created a new society and looked for new beginnings. This motto goes well with Connecticut since it's in the USA which is always changing and finding new beginnings.
