It had no money to spend for the defense of the colonists, and Stuyvesant was obliged to lay heavy taxes on the people.

New Sweden When the French, the English, and the Dutch were founding colonies in America, the Swedes also thought that they might as well have a colony there too.
They had no claim to any land in America.
But Swedish armies were fighting the Dutchman's battles in Europe, so the Swedes sent out a colony to settle on lands claimed by the Dutch.
As long as the European war went on, the Swedes were not interfered with.
But when the European war came to an end, Stuyvesant was told to conquer them.
This he did without much trouble, as he had about as many soldiers as there were Swedish colonists.
In this way, New Sweden became a part of New Netherland.

Summary We have seen how the French, the Dutch, the Swedish, and the English colonies were established on the Atlantic seashore and in the St.
Lawrence Valley.
South of these settlements, there was the earlier Spanish colony of St.
Augustine.
The Spanish colonists were very few in number, but they gave Spain a claim to Florida.
The Swedish colony had been absorbed by the stronger Dutch colony.
We have also seen how very unlike were the two English groups of colonies.
They were both settled by Englishmen, but there the likeness stops, for Virginia and Maryland were slave colonies.
They produced large crops of tobacco.
The New England colonists, on the other hand, were practically all free.
