If the Dutch had such influence over America at the time, why do we speak English?

I'm not a Dutch-hater. Don't care for the arrogant attitude of some of the ethnocentric Dutch and their elevated opinion of Dutch Calvinism. Certainly the Dutch are not alone in that regard, but even other varieties of Calvinists regard the Dutch in much the same way.

Well, at least all Dutchmen aren't Friese, who snobbishly look down on the ordinary Dutchmen.
