New York City/State - site of bastions of CAPITALISM including Wall Street, stock markets, and One World Trade Center.
History -
The oldest
part of the city, the island of
Manhattan, still has its original
Le-nape Native American name. Although Native people such as the Le-nape and Canaries had lived there for many thousands of years, New York City was first explored by
Europeans in the 1500s.
Florentine explorer
Giovanni da Verrazzano found the entrance to New York Harbor in the year 1524 and English explorer
Henry Hudson named the
Hudson River in 1609.
New York City was settled by Europeans from
The Netherlands in 1624. The Dutch called the whole area of New York
"New Nederland" (
New Netherland) and they named a
fort and town on the south end of Manhattan Island
New Amsterdam (
New Amsterdam),
[12] after the capital city of the Netherlands, which was to become present-day New York. The English took over the colony in 1664 during the second
Anglo-Dutch War. They changed the name to
New York, to honor the
Duke of York, who later became King
James II of England and James VII of Scotland. The Dutch surrendered Nieuw Amsterdam without fighting.
By the time the English took New York, there were many other Dutch towns in what would become New York City, including Breukelen (
Brooklyn), Vlissingen (
Flushing), and Nieuw Haarlem (
Harlem). There were already some English towns in the area also, such as Gravesend in Brooklyn and Newtown in Queens.
Dutch, English and other people had been living together in New York for a long time.
This is why I stand in solidarity with theDutch against the invaders. Steal their land and to add insult to injury and to mock them name a State NewYork...what more evidence do we need of American hypocrisy. Juichen Voor de Nederland!!!!
AOC and her DPST Party should be notified and immediately agitate for the return of the stolen Lands!!! She will Trump Deblasio, Bloomberg, and Cuomo - dinosaur old White Men all!!! Put an end to Capitalism in the Stolen lands and her birthplace the Bronx once and for All!!!!
