Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch in America The following pages were presented to the Court of Appeals in the State of New York as an argument in an elevated railroad case then pending, in which the fundamental question involved was whether the Dutch Roman law prevailed in Manhattan Island before 1664, under which law the railroad claimed that the State absolutely owned the streets and that adjacent owners had no rights or easements therein. This question depended upon the determination of the historical question who, under the law of nations, discovered and settled New York. To aid the Court in the solution of this problem this argument was written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book A New Holland America Line

Download or read book A New Holland America Line written by G. Kalff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Holland-America Line: The Queen Wilhelmina Lectureship for Dutch Literature and History in the United States of America On the other hand there has been no lack of interest for what was going on in America; for what might be seen and heard yonder. This 1nterest oscillated in course of time, and, to a certain extent, literature reflects this oscillation. From the poetry of the new-holland colonist, Jacob Steen dam, we must conclude that the inclination of Dutchmen at home to go out to new-amsterdam did not increase. Neither his Lof van nieuw-holland (praise of new-hol land) nor his prickei-vaersen (stimulating Songs), meant to recommend van Plockhoy's colonisation scheme, seem to have had much effect. When in 1 664 the English seize upon our settlement, America, for the present, disap pears from our ken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty

Download or read book New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty written by Evan Haefeli and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The settlers of New Netherland were obligated to uphold religious toleration as a legal right by the Dutch Republic's founding document, the 1579 Union of Utrecht, which stated that "everyone shall remain free in religion and that no one may be persecuted or investigated because of religion." For early American historians this statement, unique in the world at its time, lies at the root of American pluralism. New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a new reading of the way tolerance operated in colonial America. Using sources in several languages and looking at laws and ideas as well as their enforcement and resistance, Evan Haefeli shows that, although tolerance as a general principle was respected in the colony, there was a pronounced struggle against it in practice. Crucial to the fate of New Netherland were the changing religious and political dynamics within the English empire. In the end, Haefeli argues, the most crucial factor in laying the groundwork for religious tolerance in colonial America was less what the Dutch did than their loss of the region to the English at a moment when the English were unusually open to religious tolerance. This legacy, often overlooked, turns out to be critical to the history of American religious diversity. By setting Dutch America within its broader imperial context, New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a comprehensive and nuanced history of a conflict integral to the histories of the Dutch republic, early America, and religious tolerance.

Book The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution Classic Reprint written by Friedrich Edler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution Another European state which had been greatly offended by the treaty of Paris in 1763 was Prussia, now at the height of its prosperity and power. Frederick the Great concluded, in 1756, the Convention of Westminster With England, and the latter was his only ally during the greater part of the Seven Years' War; but when Bute replaced Pitt in the English cabinet, British policy changed. All the provisions of the Convention were broken successively by England. The subsidies to Frederick were discontinued, and a sepa rate peace was concluded with France (that of Paris in 1763) without even guaranteeing the Prussian 'dominions as had been stipulated by the Convention.2 The consequence was that Frederick conceived a strong hatred for England in general and Bute in particular, which he later transferred to Lord North. Though the Prussian king, from political reasons, abstained from taking part openly with the Ameri cans against England, he strongly sympathized with them and assisted them indirectly in many ways. In later chapters will be shown his efforts to influence the Dutch Republic against her Old ally, Great Britain. Still a third power was anxious, if not to avenge Offences committed by England, yet to recover former losses. Spain, at the end of the Spanish succession war, had ceded to Eng land the island of Minorca and her stronghold Gibraltar.
