The Quakers, the Dutch, and the Ladies: Crash Course US History #4

In which John Green teaches you about some of the colonies that were not in Virginia or Massachusetts. Old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can say; ENGLISH people just liked it better that way, and when the English took New Amsterdam in 1643, that's just what they did. Before the English got there though, the colony was full of Dutch people who treated women pretty fairly and allowed free Black people to hold jobs. John also discusses Penn's Woods, also known as Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was (briefly) a haven of religious freedom, and William Penn dealt relatively fairly with the natives his colony displaced. Of course, as soon as Penn died, the colonist started abusing the natives immediately. We venture as far south as the Carolina colonies, where the slave labor economy was taking shape. John also takes on the idea of the classless society in America, and the beginning of the idea of the American dream. It turns out that in spite of the lofty dream that everyone had an equal shot in the new world, there were elites in the colonies. And these elites tended to be in charge. And then their kids tended to take over when they died. So yeah, not quite an egalitarian paradise. In addition to all this, we get into the Salem Witch Trials, the treatment of women in the colonies, and colonial economics. Oh yeah, one more thing, before you comment about how he says we're talking about the American Revolution next week, but the end screen says Seven Years War, consider that perhaps the Seven Years War laid the groundwork for the revolution to happen.

"HOW are you wearing those mauve leather-trimmed booty-shorts?" they exclaim in shock. I tell them that I am not an oat container.

    I think the Dutch must be taught this in school? But it is not really true. After New Amsterdam became English, the Dutch kicked the English out of Suriname in the Dutch/Anglo War, and the English tried to give New Amsterdam back to the Dutch in the treaty negotiation in exchange for part of the sugar colonies, but the Dutch declined. So basically: The Dutch won Suriname from the English. The English offered New Amsterdam back to the Dutch. The Dutch declined. -John

    +VeniVidiAjax Beverwijck hasnot necessarily something to do with Beverwijk in Holland. In New Netherlands the colonists hunted on Beavers and they traded their fur. So hence the name Beverwijck (if you look to the NY City flag you can see Beavers). But the name Beverwijk in Holland comes from Bedevaartswijk;, meaning pilgrimage neighbourhood. Some other funny facts: - Brooklyns official motto is Eendraght maeckt maght (old Dutch for: in unity, there is strenght) - The English colonists noticed that most common Dutch names were Jan and Kees, so they called the dutch the Jan-Kezen = Yankees - Americans use the word cookie (koekje) instead of biscuit. And dollar comes from daler (old Dutch coin)

The spanish coin was composed of two columns, representing cape finisterre in Galicia, northwest Spain and Melilla in northern Africa. This two places were thought to be the end of the world until Columbus voyage. Between the columns there was a band with PLUS ULTRA written on it, which means further away. The band had an S shape making the coin look like the dollar we know now

    For people who grew up in New England, the colonial period is DEFINITELY not skipped. My school experience in Massachusetts focused more on the colonial period than any other topic in US History and that has been the same for most of my New England friends.

    ***** They did... The Dutch were a great naval power back then, not only with the Dutch East India Company but in general. Holland and Brittain fought plenty of wars over the years, and it wasn't as one-sided as you think. Though war with Brittain wasn't favourable, Dutch power wasn't as feeble back then that they'd give up a profitable colony without a fight. The British wanted to control North America, so they gave a fertile piece of land in South America with all the sugar and spices you could wish for in return for New Amsterdam, thus preventing war. Dumbest trade ever offcourse, but back then it seemed like a good deal.

    NiekGAE Well, the Dutch indeed were a naval great power back then but they much prefered their East Indian trade empire where they made insane amounts of money on spices like nutmeg. The West Indies weren't as lucrative. Compared to the English colonial posessions in the Americas, the Dutch couldn't compete locally (especially during the Third Anglo-Dutch war when also the French and a few German states declared war on the Dutch republic). By the time the English took over half of the Dutch colony spoke English, both north and south of the colony there were English colonies And in the Republic there hardly was any interest to migrate (there was enough profit to gain in old Amsterdam). North America was quickly sacrificed for the much more lucrative Caribbeans where they could have plantations and slaves...

    gunterke Oh yes, don't get me wrong the English definately had the upper hand in North America. I just think Job Heger's comment signalled he didn't know the Netherlands were ever a force to be reckoned with. By the way I looked around a bit and as it turns out, New Amsterdam was captured by the English at the start of the second Anglo-Dutch war. The Dutch then captured Suriname. In the third Anglo-Dutch war the Dutch reoccupied New York/New Amsterdam. After the wars, which the Dutch both won, they were allowed to keep New Amsterdam if the Dutch were allowed to keep Surinam and some other small island. So it wasn't the peacefull trade I had in mind after all. Funny, I knew about the Raid on the Medway and all (or Journey to Chatham as we Dutch call it, funny example of how opposite sides view history) but I never knew what changes that war made to the modern world.

    So I've just gone through the first 3 episodes of this playlist and started this one, and while it is highly educational, I have one major complaint. The eagle cry in the theme sound sounds exactly like that which I have for my phone and every time I listen to it I mistakenly look to my phone, thinking it is ringing. I am confident that you, the team behind this great channel, recognize just how severe a problem this is and will act quickly and studiously to correct it. (That was a joke.)

    The english didn't sail into new amsterdam and askes for the colony. In 1643 the english where at the edge of losing the third anglo dutch war so they sugested a casefire(the treathy of breda). In the treaty was that that the english would have new amsterdam from the dutch and the dutch have surinam from the british if they accapted there would be peace the dutch did and echanched the colonys.

    Interesting fact. When the Dutch controlled Manhattan they also controlled 9 of the 10 islands (all in the pacific) where nutmeg could be grown. England controlled the other one. Wanting a monopoly on nutmeg (incredibly rare at the time and so a great commodity) the Dutch invaded the final Island and forced the English people out. The dutch comprehensively beat the English in a small battle (can't remember the details) as the islands were far away from Europe and the British were vastly outnumbered (by roughly 9 to 1). To prevent war the Dutch offered England compensation in the way of a much less valuable (at the time) island: Manhattan.
