Manhattan Island

On the show

They absolutely did. The problem was the Dutch bought Manhattan from the Karnasi Native Americans who happened to live next door in Long Island and did not live in Manhattan. They only used the Isle of Manhattan to get drunk in and the Dutch showed up and they offered to buy the place from these people saying, is this your place? Oh great, we'll buy you this for it. It's like going to a pub and offering a random man standing outside the pub quite drunk £100,000 for this building.
