Border disputes between New York and Connecticut
Much of the Dutch jurisprudence was based on the writings of Grotius, emphasizing claiming the land and interaction with the natives. The English did not generally accept Grotius' theories, in particular his Mare Liberum. When Henry Hudson first explored the area, he had been employed by the Dutch: so the Netherlands could base its claim on both first discovery and status as financial backer. In addition, the Dutch felt that “that territorial possession depended on recognition of the rights of indigenous people in regard to their territory as well as on a Dutch military presence to defend the claim from European incursion.” While the majority of the Dutch population of New Netherlands clustered around the Hudson River and western Long Island, the Dutch still maintained forts and trading posts along the Connecticut River (e.g., Fort Hoop, in modern day Hartford) and went on frequent expeditions to exploit the natural resources of the area (e.g., beaver hunting).
By contrast, the exploding population of the New England Colonies placed ever more farms and settlements across Connecticut and Long Island Sound. Connecticut Colony also based its claims on conquest. Following the end of the Pequot War in 1638, Connecticut had signed a treaty with the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Mohegan and Narragansett tribes ceding all of the Pequot lands to Connecticut. The English also rejected the claim that Hudson's discovery secured the area for the Dutch: Hudson was an Englishman and had not been hired to explore the area, but had rather discovered it by accident.
Another English objection to Dutch control was based in dealings with the natives. The Dutch had endangered the “adjoining Countries most wickedly, feloniously, and traitorously, contrary to the Marine and Admirall Laws of all Christians, (selling ) wholesale guns, powder, shot and ammunition to the Indians, instructing them in the use of our fights and arms.’’〔Plantagenet, Beauchamp. ('A Description of the Province of New Albion' ). 1648.〕 The Dutch claim to the land was further weakened when Peter Stuyvesant justified trading guns by citing pressure from the natives.
==Treaty of 1650 between New Netherlands and Connecticut==
In 1650, the Treaty of Hartford sought to set the border between New Netherlands and the colonies of Connecticut. The main land was split by a line 50 miles from the Connecticut River and Long Island was divided into an East (Connecticut) and West (New Amsterdam) at Oyster Bay. However, the treaty was never ratified back in England, which left the border unresolved when the Province of New York was created by a sea-to-sea grant in 1664, just two years after Connecticut had been issued a sea-to-sea charter in 1662.
