If New Netherlands Remains?

How would this work?

When would it gain independance?

What would it be called today?

What forms of government do you think it would go through?
 
Problem with the New Netherlands colony is that it really didn't have much manpower to defend itself with, and was never a priority of the WIC or the States-General. Even if it hadn't been seized in the 1660s, English settlers likely would've eventually populated the area so much as to pull a Texas later on.
