1. Many wealthy colonists were able to purchase and sell enslaved workers for the first time.
The systematic use of black slaves in New Netherland had begun in 1626 when the first cargo of 11 Africans was unloaded by the Dutch West India Company.
The British took over in 1664, and control of the colony passed to the Duke of York, who held controlling interests in the Royal African Company. The change of name from New Netherland to New York brought a significant shift in policy. Whereas the Dutch before them had used slavery as part of their colonial policy, the British used the colony as a market for slaves.
