Dutch New Netherland

In September 1609, Henry Hudson and his crewmembers left for the Dutch East India Company, entered the present New York Port, and began to climb along the river named after him. The company had asked Hudson to find a northern route between Europe and Asia to make it better than competitors. The river does not offer a way to Asia, but Hudson takes note of the richness of the area: rich natural resources, a protected port of the Atlantic Ocean and rich Beaver rich in Europe.

Hudson's report on his discovery encouraged New Holland's new colony settlement. During the next sixty years, New Netherlands now includes parts of today's New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The colony started with a series of fur trade bases at the Hudson River (then known as the North River) and specialized in beaver skin trading with indigenous peoples. Fur trade is for the benefit of Dutch merchants and they eventually unified into the West India Company (founded in 1621).

Between the 1620s and the 1660s, the colonies grew through powerful leaders and initiatives. In 1626, colonial manager Peter Minute purchased Manhattan island from Native American and built Amsterdam Fort. In 1629, the West India Company established a land allocation system to promote colonization settlement. In the 1640 's, Willem Kiev extended the boundary between the south and the east of the colony but collided with neighboring European, indigenous ally and colonial residents. The last director of New Netherlands is Peter Stuyvesant. Under Stuyvesant, the colonial multicultural population - diverse European ethnic groups and religious groups, Africans and Native American - grew. The colony prospered between 1647 and 1664. But after many years of tension between New Hollander and New England settlers British forces sailed to New Amsterdam in 1664 and demanded surrender. Because there were no military resources to protect the colony, Stuyvesant was forced to surrender and was renamed to New York.

New Holland, in connection with Peter Stuyvesant and Peter Minuit, was solved by New Holland of the Netherlands and became New York. In 1664, King Charles II awarded his brother James, New York Public New Holland. The Dutch surrendered to New Holland without fighting, renamed it New York. The wonderful revolution in March, 1689 caused colonial rebellion. The Boston militia arrested Andros and put him in prison. The New England colony began to rebuild the government. Jacob Lesler (1640-1691) was a German immigrant who led the uprising against colonial officials in New York from 1689 to 1691.

The new Dutch is not necessarily Dutch, New Holland was not a uniform society. Early governor, Peter Minuit, Walloon from modern Germany, speaks English and works for a company in the Netherlands. Dutch Dutch generally includes all Europeans living there, but may also mean Africans, Caribbeans in India, South Americans, and even Native Americans indispensable to society Hmm. Dutch is an official language and may be a common language of the state, but it is just one of many spoken languages. There are different languages ​​in Algonquin, Walloons and Huguenots tend to speak French, and Scandinavians speak themselves like Germans. About 100 Africans (including free men and slaves) in Manhattan speak their mother tongue, but in 1638 Professor Adam Roelantsz van Dokkum taught Dutch.

The New York colony began as a Dutch trading place in New Holland in 1614. On 4th May 1626, the Netherlands West India Company established New Amsterdam in New Holland, later became New York. The UK occupied the colony in 1664, but the rule of the Dutch was completely abolished until November 10, 1674. Residents of the Netherlands receive a generous surrender clause. By verifying religious tolerance and property rights, we guarantee that most people will stay even if colony becomes New York. On February 12, 1664 Charles II chose the colony as the owner of his brother James (Duke of York) at the request of the UK. On February 6, 1685, New York became a royal colony only when its owner became King James II. Colonial settlement was limited to the Hudson Valley 100 miles east of Long Island and the Mohawk River.
