The Dutch inhabited this space of land [called New Netherlands at the time], they had a good ruler who practiced tolerance against all races and religions. But they got a new ruler, this ruler did not practice tolerance. When the English arrived the colonists were so angry with their ruler that they gave up without a fight. The English king gave this land to his brother who named the land New York (after himself).
