I mean, we've been a state that, while small, produces a lot of stuff since the beginning of time. one of my best examples of this is that during the Civil War Connecticut was producing a metric butt-ton of arms, ammo, and armaments for the Union.

Forget where I saw the anecdote so I'm not able to confirm this fact, but I believe it was something like 40% of the total amount of gunpowder used by the Union army in the Civil War was produced at the Hazard Powder Mills up in Enfield.
