Question

Use the excerpt from the Dutch West India Company’s Charter of Freedoms and Exemptions to answer the question. Why did New Amsterdam maintain generally more peaceful relations with Native Americans than did the English colonies? A. The arrangement between the patroons and the Dutch West India Company provided for a Dutch source of labor in New Amsterdam, while the English colonies had to exploit Native American workers. B. The patroons settled small areas of land around New Amsterdam intended to support hunting and trade rather than farming, while English colonists won grants for large areas of land to support plantation farming. C. The Dutch West India Company largely controlled settlement in and around New Amsterdam and their driving interest was trade, while the English colonies were overseen by various groups driven by acquisition of land and raw materials. D. Dutch monarchs had little interest in permanent settlement of North America, so they sent the Company to extract only what was needed for trade, while the English Crown wanted large, long-term colonies to support mercantilist economic policies.
