Thomas Hooker was a key figure in the founding of Connecticut due to his beliefs in church governance and individual rights. Discontented with the strict Puritan leadership in Massachusetts, he led a group of followers to the Connecticut River Valley in 1636, advocating for a more democratic system of government.
