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

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]
