The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was taken over by the English without a shot being fired. The English forces arrived in 1664 in four warships sent by the Duke of York to take possession of land his brother the king of England had granted him. Before commencing an attack, the English offered generous terms of surrender to the Dutch colonists. The Dutch citizens persuaded their Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, to accept the terms of surrender rather than have the colony suffer the death and destruction under battlefire from the well-armed warships. After the surrender, the colony was then renamed New York for its new ruler.

The first recorded use of Africans as slaves in the American colony was in 1619. 20 of them were transported to the Virginian colony. Although, before and after that, whites tried to use American Indians as slaves. They proved to be useless due to their "wild instincts". They had no clue how to work on a plantation. Even after that, some poor whites were taken from England and Ireland to be used as slaves. Both of those ideas vanished quickly due to sudden and fatal problems.
