Why did the founder leave Europe to find the new york colony?
In 1655 the Dutch sent a small military expedition to the area we call NY. It was led by Peter Stuyvesant. He took a small fort away from the Swedes who had trespassed on Dutch land in 1638. New Sweden was never important and it faded away, but the days of the Dutch were also numbered because the English regarded them as intruders. In 1664 Charles II granted the area to his brother, the Duke of York, and sent a strong English squadron to take the area from the Dutch. New Amsterdam was defenseless and short of ammo. Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender without a shot being fired and it was renamed New York. England won a splendid harbor, an area in the middle of the colonies, and the Hudson River penetrating the interior. With the Dutch removed the English controlled much of the territory from Maine to the Carolina's.
