I get what Adams was going for-there's a lot of parallels, and some actual religious and personal ties in the form of the pilgrims and the Dutch New Yorkers, but the Dutch were fighting 80 years an existential multi-continental conflict against multiple empires that wanted to burn all of them at the stake as a tiny, swampy, sea-level country with limited resources, while the US was fighting a guerrilla conflict against a relatively civilized foe with substantial and continuously growing support of the greatest European power of the period. In the HBO series John Adams, there's a scene where Adams is asking the Dutch government for a war-time loan, and says something to the effect of "Dutch and American histories are summaries of each other".
