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 (10[1])near Weenen led (-5[1])to a battle commemorated by the defunct ethnoreligious “Day of the Vow” holiday; that battle is the Battle of Blood (10[1])River. (10[2])A planned uprising against these people resulted in the failed Jameson Raid, (10[1])which caused (10[1])the resignation of Cecil Rhodes. Paul Kruger led one country of these (10[1])people, who migrated inland on wagon trains (10[1])during the Great Trek. For 10 points, the Orange Free State and (10[1])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]
