This thesis compares punishment and social mobility of enslaved Africans and European soldiers in New Netherland. In doing so this thesis analyzes the fluidity between both groups.

In this reformulation, the variable is not a metric, but a connection on a vector bundle. Nevertheless, we can associate a Riemannian metric to a connection. This allows us to relate the new formulation to the usual formulation, i.e. this allows us to argue that the new formulation is in fact a reformulation of Einstein’s equation. Since the physically significant metrics are of Lorentzian signature, we also consider modifying the new formulation in an attempt to make it suitable for Lorentzian metrics.Show less
