Answer:

The Dutch colonized New Netherland in 1614. It was a trading colony that spanned parts of what is now New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Delaware. The Dutch were tolerant of other cultures and welcomed people of all faiths. New Netherland was a successful colony, but it was lost to the English in 1664.
