The New Jersey History PodcastEpisode 17: The Origins of Slavery in Dutch Colonial New JerseyNew Jersey had slavery? Yes….it did. As we’re taught in school, the first African slaves landed in Virginia in 1619. The fact that Dutch New York was the second colony to import slaves is less well known. Unlike those in Virginia—indeed, unlike those in any other North American colony—the first slaves in New Netherland were not individually owned. The Dutch West India Company, a private company largely sponsored by the Dutch government, owned and controlled the province of New Netherland, which today encompasses the states of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Grab a hot dog from WindMill, say a prayer at The Church of the Presidents, and enjoy the beach in Bruce Springsteen’s home town.

There is a lot of repetitive material out there on Berry’s Cahpel, much of which is contradictory and more legend than historical fact. However, the scant information we have is quite interesting.
In addition to the reading, you’ll hear me go off on something who very dramatically said that there was no slavery in New Jersey. And I’m naming her “Karen.”

There were, in fact, two Bund Camps in New Jersey, as well,as a good number of members. Camp Bergwald was in Riverdale, and Camp Nordland was in Andover. The Bund was an organization of German-Americans and German immigrants, who celebrated German heritage, with many if not most members supporting and/or sympathized with Nazi Germany. These organizations were known by the Third Reich, and were essentially sanctioned by Heinrich Himmler, with an American branch of the Nazi Party...2022-06-0810 min
