Our colony governor Peter stuyvesant expanded New Netherland by taking over the closest colony which is New Sweden in 1655.The Dutch West India Company set up a patroon system to attract more settlers. A patroon is a person who would bring about 50 settlers to our colony,The New Netherland. A patroon reward would receive hunting, fishing, and fur trading privileges.
In the social system we also have slaves,but they have rights of the movement and property ownership. Now in the 17th century we have the most diverse and tolerant societies here in Europe, and we would like for you to come here!. The Dutch saw how well our colony was so they also brought our religion to their colony. Here we welcome dissenters who
