Summary
This episode covers the important, though overlooked, Dutch colony in the New World: New Amsterdam. This colony was squished between Massachusetts and Virginia and was instrumental in forwarding many of the ideals that would be used to justify the American Revolution.

This led to a power vacuum which led to many an authoritarian trying to control the colony. This led to a growing need for representative government and liberty in religion and person.
