The Charter Oak Affair of 1685 involved the controversial seizure of the Connecticut colony's charter by the royal governor, Sir Edmund Andros. The charter, which granted self-governance to Connecticut, was hidden in a hollow oak tree by a group of colonial leaders, including Captain Joseph Wadsworth, to prevent Andros from taking it. This act of defiance became a symbol of colonial resistance against British authority. The incident is commemorated in Connecticut's history as a significant moment in the struggle for self-governance.
