Oh----I get confused between the tea companies and the many sects of Protestantism that they dropped thruout New York and New Jersey---with Hispanic and Portuguese catholicism thrown in --no wonder the Quakers took themselves into obscurity in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is not clear to me what slaves were doing for the New Amsterdam Calvinists or how Stuyvesant became a "hero".
It is confusing. I think Dutch West Indies was not only the most successful, but also the only slaver..
Peter Stuyvesant was Dutch Reformed Church and a hypocrite. He owned 42 slaves.
