Answer:

They were unsatisfied with the colony and did not send much support.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dutch government were unsatisfied with the New Netherlands colony and in 1664 when warships with several soldiers came to the harbor and demanded the Dutch surrender, prominent city residents gave up the colony without a fight and signed over the colony.
