Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site (random reading)... 

Not that important to me but really surprising how much Dutch influence and involvement everywhere.

Anyway theses sentences struck me as surprising....

" Wall Street was originally known in Dutch as "de Waalstraat" when it was part of New Amsterdam in the 17th century, though the origins of the name vary...

" Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site "
