o the dutch werent making a profit from the colony and wanted to sell it.
In 1664, the English sent a fleet to New Netherland. The Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, was short - staffed and outgunned, and the English military forced the Dutch to surrender without much of a fight. There is no evidence of trading the colony for military help, trouble with settlement was not the main reason for giving up, and it was not a sale due to lack of profit.
