RESTORATION COLONIES

New York and New Jersey

New York was the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam until taken by the British in 1660s.




Then its was the proprietary colony of James, the Duke of York. Charles II's brother.



New York was probably the most religiously and ethnically diverse of all the colonies.  This diversity led to conflicts with the proprietor and each other.
