Abstract
This chapter pushes back against the notion that religious identity was the product of pragmatic considerations. It scrutinizes the vicissitudes of four Jews who served as soldiers in the ranks of the Dutch West India Company's army in the Americas. It also describes their deep sense of revenge against the tyranny of Catholics embodied in the Inquisition, their messianic expectations about the dispersion of the Jews across the globe, and the possibility of gaining prestige within the Jewish community. Whatever the four Jews' motives were, they connected their fate to the Dutch, who had their own, partly religious, reasons to fight their Spanish hereditary enemies. The case study in this chapter is an important example of the ongoing relevance of microhistory to the emerging field of Atlantic Jewish history.
