because, i dont know either im trying to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a patroon was a rich landholder with manorial rights to large tracts of land in the 17th century Dutch colony of New Netherlands in North America.
The patroon system was a landholding system established in the Dutch colony of New Netherland, where wealthy individuals, known as patroons, were granted large tracts of land along the Hudson River in exchange for settling the area with colonists. In return for the land, patroons were responsible for bringing in at least 50 settlers, who would farm the land and pay rents to the patroon. This system aimed to promote agricultural development and bolster the colony's economy but often led to tensions between the settlers and the landowners over land use and rights. Ultimately, the patroon system declined as the colony transitioned to British control in the late 17th century.
