I Historiography 5. II The WIC Charter and the 1629 Order of Government 21. III 'Creaturen van de Compagnie' The Seizure of the Ship Alckmaer 28. IV The Trial of Isaac Coymans 37. V Dispute with the Danish Crown 52. Conclusion 61. Literature and Sources 63. 1 Introduction One of the principal characteristics of European overseas expansion was the foundation of commercial trading companies, charged with the advancement of their commercial interests in both the East and the West. This institutional arrangement was new to the existing local trading networks. Whereas the Portuguese, pioneers in the Eastern trade, had expressly organized their Estado da India as being part of the state, the English and Dutch East India Companies in contrast were granted extensive public powers by their respective governments. 1 These powers included the right to conclude alliances with foreign Princes and Peoples, the right to maintain armies and the right to administer justice. Competencies that are nowadays considered to be the sole prerogative of the sovereign state. The West Indische Compagnie (WIC) and the Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie (VOC) laid the foundations for the later Dutch colonial empire. The companies are sometimes regarded as the first limited liability companies in history. Considering that the companies carried this public authority, while being private entities, the question is raised how we should evaluate their legal status. 2 Today, the WIC is mostly known for its role in the Atlantic slave trade.

  • Climate, Colonialism, and Indigenous Resistance in the Dutch Atlantic by © 2017 Nicholas Jordan Cunigan M.A., University of Kansas, 2013 B.A., Calvin College, 2007
    Weathering Extremes: Climate, Colonialism, and Indigenous Resistance in the Dutch Atlantic By © 2017 Nicholas Jordan Cunigan M.A., University of Kansas, 2013 B.A., Calvin College, 2007 Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul Kelton Greg Cushman Sara Gregg Robert Schwaller William Keel Date Defended: 25 April 2017 The dissertation committee for Nicholas Cunigan certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Weathering Extremes: Climate, Colonialism, and Indigenous Resistance in the Dutch Atlantic Chair: Paul Kelton Date Approved: 25 April 2017 ii Abstract Weathering Extremes demonstrates how seventeenth-century climate changes mingled with cultural, social, economic, agro-ecological, and geopolitical forces to catalyze three simultaneous, though geographically disparate, indigenous resistance movements between 1636 and 1645. In Brazil, Curaçao, and the Hudson Valley, indigenous peoples deployed violent and non-violent means of resistance to confront the Dutch West India Company. This broadly interdisciplinary project utilizes natural proxy sources such as pollen samples, ice cores, and tree rings in conjunction with ethnohistorical and Dutch archival sources to reconstruct how early seventeenth-century extreme weather events catalyzed these movements. El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, volcanic eruptions, and reduced sunspot activity led to drought, heavy rain, and abnormally cold temperatures throughout the Americas. Extreme weather compounded the worst consequences of European colonialism on indigenous societies including disease epidemics, livestock destruction, and political instability. Harvest failures exacerbated the Company’s financial ills, decreased cash and subsistence crop production, and led to local abuses of indigenous groups.
