Abstract
This chapter shows how discrimination characterized the relationship between Jews and the land of liberty. For example, in 1654, the governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, fearing the negative effects of religious diversity, wrote the West India Company requesting permission to deny Jews entry into his colony. Given the company's desire for commercial success through settlement by various groups, it denied Stuyvesant's request. In response, he let Jewish refugees from Brazil enter New Amsterdam but promptly curtailed their legal rights. In the eighteenth century, other colonies also used legal means to similar effect. They sought to minimize the threat of perceived religious outsiders through laws that consolidated power in the hands of the Protestant majority. In 1632, Virginia made church attendance compulsory and subjected violators to fines, imprisonment, or assault.
