Question

Adherents of a conservative religious sect among these people were called Doppers. In traditional historiography, these people’s religious alignment with the anti-Enlightenment Calvinist schismatic Abraham Kuyper led to their self-identification as a “chosen people.” (10[1])A massacre of these people near Weenen led to a battle commemorated by the defunct ethnoreligious “Day of the Vow” holiday; that battle is the Battle of Blood River. A planned uprising (-5[1])against (10[1])these people resulted in the failed Jameson Raid, which caused the resignation of Cecil Rhodes. Paul Kruger led one country of these people, who migrated inland on wagon trains during the Great Trek. For 10 points, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal were republics of what descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Boers [or Boervolk or Trekboers or Voortrekkers; accept Afrikaners or Afrikaner Calvinism; accept Boer Republics; prompt on Dutch people until read; prompt on white South Africans or equivalents]
