New New Netherland: The Fall of New York and New Jersey (1673-74)

With the outbreak of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the New York and New Jersey Colonies, rife with internal strife, are barely governable with wavering loyalties. An Admiral from Holland and an Admiral from Zeeland plot to restore the colony of New Netherland.

This is a truly mesmerizing deep-dive into the early history of New York and New Jersey! Thank you very much!

I created the wikipedia page for this Dutch raid on North America a few months ago. When I discovered the reconquest of New York by the Dutch I was suprised how little attention it gets. It is a really fascinating story that unfortunately forgotten.
Well done!

So excited for this one! Love my cultural Dutch roots in New York (even though I’m not Dutch)

My goodness - I went to sleep with this on loop and that was ALLOT of information - excellent job reading or narrating - zero monotony - I have big wonders about how much "Dutch " is in allot of us all over the United States as they invariably changed their very funky sounding names to more British / English sounding

I own a historic home, (I'm told by locals that it was built for servants), on a small piece of land on an old copper deposit that was used for pottery glazes in Hunterdon, with the oldest well in my town, and I would love to know the FULL history of the spot. Everytime it rains I find pieces that seem to go back centuries.
Want to help me do a deep dive?
Also, there's a carving in my bedroom floor that says, "I love my BABY".
Yeah. I have questions.

I love the woodcuts of villages, the old maps, period portraits of the protagonists. The sequencing must take a long time.

In the bicentennial year of 976, New Jersey issued license plates with the phrase "Crossroads of the Revolution." The State has always played a critical role in our collective consciousness.

I find these videos equally fascinating and infuriating.

@@theotherstatesofamericahis5212 The fascinating parts are learning that the native Americans were a savvy people who understood the complexities of commerce. The names of all the people, I lived on Nichols Street, there is a Wyandotte street, I lived near Batavia, Bell and Howell used to have a factory here. I will skip the infuriating parts as this is likely not the proper forum.

Should have been 1673-present

[@Ronald-wv1bz]

Wondering what was the cause of the Dutch English war ?

[@TrompetterJanKlaassen]

Dutch trading primacy. In addition, the king of England fel humiliated by his loss in the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1667, while the king of France saw the Dutch as his biggest obstacle in conquering the Spanish Netherlands (modern day Belguim and Luxembourg)
