Founded By: Peter Minuit and the New Sweden Company. Motivation for Founding: Peter Minuit was Dutch and formed New Sweden as part of New Netherland. When Charles II, King of England gave his brother James, the Duke of York, New Netherland, James demanded and received its surrender. He renamed New Sweden to Delaware. Significant Events: 1  Delaware was a part of Pennsylvania until 1703. 2  The colony was governed by Pennsylvania until the Revolutionary War.
In Delaware, the general feeling was against the increase of slavery, and before 1700, some slaves had been freed. Before the eighteenth century, the people of Delaware relied on the work from Indian slaves rather than African slaves. This stopped at around 1720. African slaves were not used until the Dutch had control of Delaware. Sentiment and the continued freeing of slaves did not prevent the sale of other blacks, however, during most of the eighteenth century. This led to a declaration against slavery in the first constitution of the state in 1776 in Article 26.
