"The Dutch colony pre-dated the 'original' thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. " An amazing history of New Netherland and its capital, Manhattan based on the recently discovered and translated 12,000 pages of Dutch records. It's fascinating to compare the founding of Manhattan versus the early English religious communities that are normally taught in US history.
