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>

4. Because American Indian tribes spoke a single language, communication between tribes was fairly

Shalnov [3]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Native Americans were and are still a diverse group of people who had different cultures and ways of life. They spoke different languages and had conflict between themselves like Europeans did amongst themselves as well.

The lack of a single language and the competition between tribes severely hampered their response to the increasing power of the Europeans. There were even instances where a tribe would ally with the Europeans to defeat another tribe.
