An exploration of Hamilton's time in and contributions to New York City.
Original Flushing Remonstrance, 1657, document showing damage caused to the document in a fire that swept through Albany in 1911. In 1657, Dutch settlers in what is now Flushing, Queens, wrote a demand for religious freedom that is today known as the Flushing Remonstrance. Today, the document is regarded as the precursor to the U.S. Constitution’s provision on freedom of religion on the Bill of Rights.
