What if Henry Hudson scoped out Cape Cod and the Pilgrims settled in Manhattan, followed by the Puritans in the Hudson Valley and New Jersey? This essentially flips the locations of New England and New Netherlands.
How much would England covet New Netherlands (say its everything east of the Connecticut river in New England in this case) if it is to the north of their main colonial efforts and adjacent to the French colonies, instead of forming a wedge between English coastal settlements?
Would it be more likely for us to get to 1800 without England having conquered New Netherlands?
