Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today A man usually lived until he was about 40years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young The parents lived through their children

Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young It was the custom that the fathers

made the decision on whom their children were going to marry The mothers had little say in it since they

rarely made any decisions outside the house hold The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given to the bride on her wedding date The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had

to marry well Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King’s business advisors In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married

The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India

In 1626, Peter Minuit, governor of the Dutch settlements in North America known as New Amsterdam,

negotiated with Canarsee chiefs for the purchase of Manhattan Island for merchandise valued at sixty guilders

or about $24.12 He purchased the island for the Dutch West India Company

The next year, Fort Amsterdam was built by the company at the extreme southern tip of the island Because

attempts to encourage Dutch immigration were not immediately successful, offers, generous by the standards

of the era, were extended throughout Europe Consequently, the settlement became the most heterogeneous of

the North American colonies By 1637, the fort had expanded into the village of New Amsterdam, other small

communities had grown up around it, including New Haarlem and Stuyvesant's Bouwery, and New

Amsterdam began to prosper, developing characteristics of religious and linguistic tolerance unusual for the

times By 1643,it was reported that eighteen different languages could be heard in New Amsterdam alone

Among the multilingual settlers was a large group of English colonists from Connecticut and Massachusetts

who supported the English King's claim to all of New Netherlands set out in a charter that gave the territory to

his brother James, Duke of York In 1644, when the English sent a formidable fleet of warships into the New

Amsterdam harbor, Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered without resistance

When the English acquired the island, the village of New Amsterdam was renamed New York in honor of the

Duke By the onset of the Revolution, New York City was already a bustling commercial center After the

war, it was selected as the first capital of the United States Although the government was eventually moved,

first to Philadelphia and then to Washington, D.C., New York maintained its status It became a haven for

pirates who conspired with leading merchants to exchange supplies for their ships in return for a share in the

plunder As a colony New York exchanged many agricultural products for English manufactured goods In

addition, trade with the West lndies prospered Three centuries after his initial trade with the Native

Americans, Minuit's tiny investment was worth more than seven billion dollars
