They offered a tract of land to any free man who would farm it since they are both have cultural and ethnic diversity. The Dutch also offer a trade and a land expansion. Like the French in the north, the Dutch focused their interest on the fur trade. To that end, they cultivated contingent relations with the Five Nations of the Iroquois to procure greater access to key central regions from which the skins came.
