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?
OA 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.
OB. The patroons settled small areas of land around
v Amsterdam
intended to support hunting and trade rather than farming, while
English colonists won grants for large areas of land to support
plantation farming
OC. 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.
OD 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
