The Dutch did not introduce black slavery. I have never heard of murders on Manhatten only that it was bought (admittedly my knowledge of Dutch History in the new world is limited).
New Amsterdam was lost to the English (not British) but subsequently taken over again in the second Anglo/Dutch war. It was returned to the English in the peace settlement as Dutch colonial interrest lay in the east not the west and the Dutch could not afford to defend it anyway.
