Anglo-Dutch Relations in Early Colonial America with Elizabeth Hines

In this episode of Historians & Their Histories, Dr. Elizabeth Hines discusses her research into the relations between New England and New Netherland in the 17th century, which grew out of a broader project on Anglo-Dutch relations across the globe. She explores why England and the Netherlands ultimately went to war in the First Anglo-Dutch War of 1652–1654. We also hear about her journey from physics major to historian, her work in the MHS archives with sources such as the Winthrop and Endicott papers, and how she hopes her research will push audiences to think more expansively about the multi-imperial origins of what would become the United States. Dr. Hines is the recipient of a fellowship from the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium, which is administered by the Massachusetts Historical Society.
