Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical events that led to the Great Boer Trek, a significant migration of Dutch settlers from the Cape Colony in the early 19th century. The author, writing in the late 1850s, offers a firsthand perspective on the grievances and circumstances that drove these settlers, known as Boers, to leave their homes and establish new communities in the interior of South Africa. The book explores various factors that contributed to the Trek, including conflicts with the native populations, tensions over land ownership, the abolition of slavery, and the struggle for political autonomy. The author provides a detailed account of the first Boer rebellion against British rule in 1815, highlighting the tensions between the colonists and the British authorities over land rights and justice for the Hottentot people. The book also explores the complexities of missionary activity in the region, examining the impact of their work on relations between the Boers and the native communities. By offering a nuanced perspective on the political, social, and cultural dynamics of the time, the author sheds light on the historical roots of South African conflict and the enduring legacy of the Great Boer Trek, a pivotal event in the shaping of South Africa's history.
