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.” A massacre of these people near Weenen led to a battle (10[1])commemorated by the defunct ethnoreligious “Day of the Vow” holiday; that battle is the Battle of Blood River. A planned uprising against (10[1])these people resulted in the failed Jameson Raid, (10[1])which caused the resignation of Cecil Rhodes. Paul Kruger led one country (10[1])of these people, (10[1])who migrated inland on wagon trains during the Great Trek. For 10 points, the Orange (-5[1])Free State and the Transvaal were republics of what descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa? ■END■ (10[1])
