In the 1640's the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a wall to protect themselves. In 1664 the British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. The city is now called New York and the area of the wall is now called Wall Street. Source: https://t.co/NKDG95DLLH pic.twitter.com/aUeOZp8tHl
