Read the historical document below. It is a translated excerpt from a petition written in New Netherland (along today’s Hudson River). Use details from the document to identify Dutch political and social practices, and to make evidence-based inferences about why those practices could have long-lasting effects in New York.
Which phrase from the document is the BEST evidence that New Netherland included a diverse population?
Which Dutch contribution to American society is MOST directly supported by the petition excerpt?
Based on the standard, which comparison is MOST accurate?
Using evidence from the petition AND your knowledge of colonial New York, explain one way Dutch political or social practices could have long-lasting effects after the English took control.
Include one piece of evidence from the document and one relevant outside fact.
How does the petition show that some colonists believed they could influence government decisions?
Use at least two details from the document as evidence, and explain what those details suggest.
Read the translated notice below from Fort Amsterdam (New Netherland) in 1664. Use the document to identify clues about what was changing and what might stay the same. Then use evidence to place events in order and explain how Dutch practices could continue after English control.
Which conclusion about continuity and change is MOST supported by the notice?
Which detail from the notice BEST supports the idea that some Dutch political practices could continue even after a change in authority?
Which event most likely happened FIRST in the sequence described or implied by the notice?
Place these events in a logical chronological order: Dutch settlements along the Hudson River, the 1664 change to English control, and later long-lasting Dutch contributions in New York.
Then explain (using one detail from the notice) why a Dutch contribution could still be seen after 1664.
Using evidence from the notice, explain what was changing in 1664 and what might have stayed the same.
Include two pieces of evidence and describe what each one suggests about chronology or continuity.
Read the translated letter excerpt below from Beverwijck (near today’s Albany) in 1656. Use it to compare Dutch settlement goals with French settlement patterns in the region, and to place the document in the context of European competition, trade, and diplomacy in colonial New York.
Which detail from the letter is the BEST evidence of an economic focus that shaped Dutch settlements along the Hudson River?
Which statement BEST contextualizes the letter within European competition in the New York region?
Compare what the letter suggests about Dutch relations with Native Americans to one likely feature of French relations in the region.
Use one piece of evidence from the letter and one relevant outside fact for context.
Based on the letter AND the standard, which comparison is MOST accurate?
Using evidence from the letter, explain one way Dutch political, legal, or social practices could have long-lasting effects in New York after English control.
Include one piece of evidence from the letter and one relevant outside fact to contextualize your claim.
Study the historical map below (c. 1660). Use the labeled places, waterways, and travel routes as evidence to explain why the Dutch developed settlements along the Hudson River while the French developed settlements in the Champlain Valley. Support each answer with map evidence.
Based on the map, which conclusion about Dutch-French competition in the region is MOST supported?
Which statement BEST matches the settlement pattern shown on the map?
Using the map as evidence, explain how waterways and travel routes could shape economic activity and relationships with Native Americans in the region.
Use at least two specific map details.
Use evidence from the map to compare Dutch and French settlement locations.
Then contextualize how geography could help explain one long-lasting Dutch contribution in New York.
Include one map detail and one relevant outside fact.
Which geographic feature shown on the map BEST helps explain why Dutch settlements developed along the Hudson River?
Read the translated economic record below from a Dutch patroonship along the Hudson River (c. 1652). Use details from the ledger to identify how land and labor were organized and how goods moved through trade networks. Then explain how these economic practices could influence later development in New York.
Which detail from the record is the BEST evidence that Dutch settlements along the Hudson River were connected to trade networks?
Which Dutch economic system is MOST directly illustrated by the record?
Compare one economic feature suggested by this Dutch record to one likely economic feature of French settlements in the Champlain Valley.
Use one piece of evidence from the document and one relevant outside fact for context.
Based on the record, which inference BEST explains why Dutch economic practices could have long-lasting effects in New York after English control?
Using evidence from the record, explain how land and labor were organized in this part of New Netherland.
Use at least two details from the document, and explain what each detail suggests about the local economy.
