The Dutch trading company wanted to expand so they just settled in the Area of present day New York. Also, the immigrants from England who had settled in the dutch countries wanted to move to America because they believed that they were losing their English heritage by staying in a place that, while it offered religious freedom, still commonly used dutch practices. SO they established the colony of New York in an attempt to have a persecution-free English value possesing colony.
