Who were the early settlers of new york

The Dutch were the first colonizers of New York City. They landed in 1614 and established "New Amsterdam."

Eventually, in 1664, the Dutch would cede New Amsterdam to the English who would rename is New York.

Still, many of New York's oldest and richest families are descendants of the early Dutch colonizers.  

i do not know if this question has options, but a main impact of the federal reserve act of 1913, which created the federal reserve bank, was the international use of the u.s. dollar, which soon became the world's leading currency - particularly during world war i, since many nations around the world asked the united states for money.
