Manhattan was purchased.
I’m sure the Native Americans were cheated,so it’s still stolen land....Ask any liberal..Whites never play fair with minority groups....
The problem was that the Lenape tribe who sold it actually lived in what is now Brooklyn and were just passing through. Imagine if the guy who was walking his dog in front of your house sold it cheaply to someone. The Wappinger who lived on Manhattan fought the Dutch to keep it.
