President Donald Trump wondered aloud during a raucous press conference Tuesday whether the impulse to tear down memorials to leaders of the Confederacy like Gen. Robert E. Lee would slip into calls to remove monuments to America's founders, like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington New York was the British colonist name. Before that, it was named Nieww Amsterdam while Holland controlled it. And before that the French had named it New Angouleme. The first peoples of New York are estimated to have arrived around 10,000 BC. The five nations of the Iroquois League were there right before colonization. |
