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!
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.
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
@@theotherstatesofamericahis5212 Thanks for the fast reply - My Grand Mother sent down really long legs (that I did not get) and would talk about "Dutch " roots - genetic testing will reveal something in the future
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'm originally from New Jersey I lived up in the Kingston area actually Woodstock for about 10 years and knew a whole bunch of people with Dutch last names and I really really liked your video
@@theotherstatesofamericahis5212 my parents had a ski lodge up in phenicia and I was a little girl so I knew the area so when I was 26 I decided hey I'm going to run away from home 1979 was a great year to move into Woodstock
@@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.
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)
This is a truly mesmerizing deep-dive into the early history of New York and New Jersey! Thank you very much!
So excited for this one! Love my cultural Dutch roots in New York (even though I’m not Dutch)
Best history podcast. Period. End of quote.

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.

@@CoolChannelName The infuriating part of all war is the waste - destruction of functioning Houses and roads and food and life etc etc etc
Should have been 1673-present
Wondering what was the cause of the Dutch English war ?
