 * Leisler’s Rebellion ** was led by Jacob Leisler and lasted from 1689 to 1691. Leisler seized control of lower New York after the Glorious revolution. His power was soon taken away by the British in 1691; he was trialed, convicted and sentenced to execution. My partner and I feel that Leisler’s rebellion belongs in the “New York” section as this is where the rebellion occurred. (Alex H)

__**Patroon Ships**__- In 1609 Henry Hudson, an English explorer employed by the Dutch, sailed up a river that would eventually take his name. Because of his explorations, the Dutch would soon make a claim on territory in America. Only 15 years later, in 1624, the Dutch West India Company had formed permanent trading posts on the Hudson, Delaware, and Connecticut Rivers. To increase settlement of the areas, particularly New Netherland and its principal town, New Amsterdam, they granted estates to patroons, or large landowners. The land obtained by the patroons became known as patroon ships. This term was placed on the section titled "New Netherland New York and New Jersey" because many patroons were given land in what would later be considered the colony of New Netherland.
