The Dutch of that 17th Century period came up with a Document that we here in The Netherlands call the 'Plakkaat van Verlatinghe;' it was the first ever 'Declaration of Independence' the world had ever seen. This Plakkaat van Verlatinghe was the inspiration for the American Founding Fathers to write their Declaration of Independence.

Interesting stuff! Some aspects were too simply put, but interesting anyway! Unfortunately this story isn't too wellknown to Americans and the rest of the world nowadays. American history is written by the English, and they totally ignore the role The Netherlands played in American history...

First off that I already got a problem with this video new Netherland did not start at 1624 Started centuries before that seems to me a lot of you people are like getting your history wrong Do not listen to videos like this if you do your actual research you Netherland did not start in 1624 Started way before that and new Netherland was not New York it was Albany New York all the way down to Delaware
