The population already was racially mixed, and slavery in New York at first was passed down not exactly by race, but by matrilineal inheritance: the child of a male slave and a free woman was free, the child of a female slave and a free man was a slave.
New Yorkers were treated to a round of grisly spectacles as Negroes were burned alive, racked and broken on the wheel, and gibbeted alive in chains.

 17th century conversos in Amsterdam
Once the Amsterdam ex-Converso community of the 17th century was established, it required that newly arrived Conversos from the Iberian Peninsula undergo, what Miriam Bodian called rejudaization, or what we call today conversion as a requirement for full participation in community life and benefits derived from being part of rabbinic Judaism.
This was because Amsterdam’s ex-Conversos were heavily engaged in commerce as ship owners, diamond and spice traders, and many other activities related to commerce with the Spanish and Portuguese empires.
Although the Amsterdam Jewish community probably did not openly help Crypto-Jews in Iberia, there is evidence that some of the many prayer books that were printed in Spanish and Portuguese in Amsterdam were sent from to Spain or Portugal or their overseas possessions (Bodian page 199).

 New Jersey v. New York   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)

Although the new depot, which opened in 1900, sat on approximately the same spot on the original island as the prior main immigration building, it was joined by a hospital placed on a separate island created by landfill in 1899.
This population increased from 93 in 1915, to 124 in 1920, and 182 in 1925.
