New Amsterdam with Russell Shorto | Chris Distefano is Chrissy Chaos | EP 112

Chrissy Chaos is joined by author Russell Shorto. Russell is an American author, historian, and journalist who is best known for his book on the Dutch origins of New York City. Chris gets a fun history lesson on New Amsterdam and the early days of New York. We learn that the island of Manhattan was not bought for $24 and that Slavery did in fact exist that early on. We learn a lot about Tolerance and that the Dutch believed that even though you are different, we must co-exist and be peaceful. It may have been the law, but there were some people like leader Peter Stuyvesant who was very vocal about disliking Quakers, Jews and the Lenape.
