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 against these people resulted in the failed Jameson Raid, (10[1])which caused the resignation of Cecil (10[1])Rhodes. Paul Kruger led one country (10[1])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■
