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. (-5[1])A planned uprising against these people resulted in the failed Jameson Raid, which caused the resignation of Cecil Rhodes. (10[2])Paul Kruger led one country of these people, who migrated (10[2])inland (10[1])on wagon trains during the Great Trek. (10[2])For 10 points, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal were republics of what descendants of Dutch settlers (10[1])in South Africa? ■END■
