section assessment 3

1.) Another one of the early colonies was New amsterdam. The only dutch colony, they tried to get those that were coming over to bring more settlers by offering land. if you brought 50 settlers with you, you were given large amounts of land. By being one of the weathly landowners that aquired land this way you were part of a small group known as the patroons. Even though the dutch tried hard to get new and more settlers to come and live in New Amsterdam, there just weren't enough and so in 1664 England took over New Amsterdam. King Charles the second gave New Amsterdam to his brother, the Duke of York to run. New Amsterdam was renamed to New york and ran as a proprietary colony, making one person all the land and in charge of the government. Another Colony ran by the English was Pennsylvania, there were a group of people here called the quakers who had different beliefs. They thought everyone was equaled. They were also pacifists, and refused to fight in wars. This scared the weathly and other because they believed it threatened established traditions, and so Quakers were fined, jailed and even executed.
