Growing up in NYC, we learned about the Flushing Remonstrance in grade school.

Stuyvesant did not share the feelings of many of his Dutch countrymen when it came to believers who were not of the Dutch Reform persuasion. Quakers were considered similarly to Catholics and Jews by him, but the attitude of the Dutch West India company usually prevailed.

I think this thread belongs in News activism/ general news or at least in the editorial section as it pertains to more than just New York History.

Thanks for the ping, the WIC was not as important to the Dutch as the VOC but still a it made a small country big.

I also grew up in NYC (Queens, in fact) but don’t remember learning about the Flushing Remonstrance (nor what I had for lunch today for that matter). Sent the article to my sibilngs whose memories may be better. Pretty exciting stuff. Thanks so much for posting.

These 30 Flushing farmers were really brave.

Thanks for the ping.
