It was ethnically and religiously diverse.
New Netherland (especially New Amsterdam) attracted Dutch, Walloons, Germans, Scandinavians, English, Sephardic Jews, and people of African descent (enslaved and free); as a trading colony with relative religious toleration, it became a cosmopolitan, pluralistic society.
