Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam. 
Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant abdicates New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherland, to an English naval squadron under Colonel Richard Nicolls. Dutch Stuyvesant hoped to resist English, but then he lacked manpower and his subordinates refused to support him. Following its acquisition, New Amsterdam’s name was changed to New York<span>, in honor of the Duke of York, who organized the mission.</span>

In general terms, what is Hammurabi's code?
Vladimir79 [104]
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian code of law of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC (Middle Chronology). It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a 2.25 metre (7.5 ft) stone stele and consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" (lex talionis)[1] as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man or woman.[2]
