I don't know the full answer, but if I am not mistaken, the original name of NYC was "New Amsterdam"?
I am not answering in the correct response because I know that was not the question, just adding to this.
But here is the correct response I hope.
"The answer is, the Lanape native tribe, from the Dutch".
"What Watergate operative, later to be convicted, attended Fordham University graduating in 1952"?
History, "What is the structure's style name of the monument that is in the center of St Peter's Square, and who originally brought it to Rome. And no, it was not the church."
What actually happened was that the Europeans that wanted the site lavished some Native Americans who were just passing through with stuff and thought they'd purchased it from the owners.
Its like buying the Brooklyn bridge from some people who were just crossing the bridge THEN for the rest of history acting exactly like they'd bought it.
Anyhoo I'll let you have it cos for some reason I asked an arsehole question that everyone knows the wrong answer to.
Whadda bout my new questions? See prior posts.
"Name the Watergate Operative who was later convicted whom graduated from Fordham University in 1952".
Or
"What is the name of the structure style of the monument in the center of St Peter's Square and who originally brought it to Rome" And no, it was not the church. Hint.... The Washington Monument in DC is considered the same style structure.
You can have a "Phone a friend" or a "street shout out" and yes, I am parodying "Who wants to be a Millionaire and Cash Cab". Translation, google searches are welcome.
