ah yes but we sacrificed those pounds for 5 years

I shall remove my standing force, barricades, and fortified defenses under these conditions for the ethical treatment of my people currently residing in the colony of New Amsterdam.
This is my contract proposal:
1. All ethnic Dutch property owners shall be given the same inalienable rights under the Republic of England as any man living in England or her territories.
2. Violent acts on an ethnic Netherlander living in your newly bought colony will not be tolerated, and sanctions and/or defensive actions shall be taken to insure these acts are condemned and the perpetrators of these violent acts will be subject to punishment fit to the crime.
3. Property of current ethnic Dutch
SHALL NOT under any circumstances be seized if the owner of said property has committed no crime.
4. All Broes residing inside the colony are free men, and shall stay free men.
Remember these are still my people even if it shall no longer be my colony. Please take care of them. Do you accept my conditions? I am very, very glad in regards to your corporation and I thank you for conducting fair trade and discontinuing your use of aggressive force.
