For early American historians this statement, unique in the world at its time, lies at the root of American pluralism. New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a new reading of the way tolerance operated in colonial America. Using sources in several languages and looking at laws and ideas as well as their enforcement and resistance, Evan Haefeli shows that, although tolerance as a general principle was respected in the colony, there was a pronounced struggle against it in practice. Crucial to the fate of New Netherland were the changing religious and political dynamics within the English empire. In the end, Haefeli argues, the most crucial factor in laying the groundwork for religious tolerance in colonial America was less what the Dutch did than their loss of the region to the English at a moment when the English were unusually open to religious tolerance. This legacy, often overlooked, turns out to be critical to the history of American religious diversity. By setting Dutch America within its broader imperial context, New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a comprehensive and nuanced history of a conflict integral to the histories of the Dutch republic, early America, and religious tolerance. 410 0$aEarly American studies. 606 $aReligious tolerance$zUnited States$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDutch$zUnited States$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aNew Netherland$xReligion 607 $aUnited States$xReligion$y17th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$yTo 1775 607 $aNetherlands$xReligion$y17th century 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aReligious tolerance$xHistory 615 0$aDutch$xHistory 676 $a323.44/2097309032 700 $aHaefeli$b Evan$f1969-$01437021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787543003321 996 $aNew Netherland and the Dutch origins of American religious liberty$93597131 997 $aUNINA
