Slavery was part of New York life almost from its beginning. But for some, there was a route out. The Dutch system enabled some enslaved people to own property, get married, and even petition for freedom. The story of Maria Van Angola shows how one African woman gained freedom and passed an impressive legacy to her children as part of a free Black community.

Van Angola was able to free herself, purchase property, marry twice in the Dutch Reformed church, and hold on to her land through the transition to English rule, after which it was inherited by Van Angola's adopted daughter.
