- Abstract
Despite political disputes between the governments of New Netherland and the English colonies of New England, little interfered with trade and the commercial networks that developed between merchants in New Netherland and New England. Demonstrating a richer and more internationally diversified economic environment than has been previously portrayed, this article examines the sophisticated trading world New England merchants entered when they chose to conduct business with merchants from New Netherland, with its commercial and legal infrastructures that accommodated foreign merchants. As well, New England's nascent economies needed to facilitate commerce and they too encouraged and accommodated trade with the Dutch. For seventeenth-century merchants in New Netherland and New England, intercolonial trade supplied necessary sustenance, expanded merchant networks, and presented opportunities for profit.
