Here they remained | in peace until the fierce struggle with | Napoleon impressed upon’ English statesmen the desirability of securing a stronghold which would serv2 as a “half way house” to India. For this purpose a naval force was sent to Table Bay, which in one engagement compel- led the Dutch to capitulate.

But in spite of opposition they grew and prospered, and in 1852 succeeded in concluding a treaty with Britain by which the latter “guaranteed to the emigrant farmers beyond the Vaal River the right to manage their own affairs, and to govern themselves according to their own laws without any interference on the part of the British government.” The terms of this treaty were confirm- ed by a Convention held in 1854, which “guaranteed the future in- dependence of the country and _ its government and declared the Boers a free and independent people,”

This independence did not give them peace. Wars with the native tribes still continued in which the Boers were generally victorious. A _ republican form of government was established with all its powers invested in a Volks- But the Volks-

| in their turn, disliked the British and | considered

their aggressions the es— sence of tyranny. ‘This dislike was deepened and intensified when a legal enactment was passed abolishing the Dutch language in the public schools and substituting the English language in its place and when, in all quarrels with the negro tribes, the British es— poused the cause of the natives against the Boers.

The chief differeoce however be- tween the two peoples was the question of slavery, a difference which finally caused complete separation. In 1834 slavery was abolished throughout the

British dominions, and all slaveowners, on receiving proper compensation,

were ordered to release their slaves. The Boer farmers who held in vassalage 39,000 slaves did not believe in the abolition of slavery, and did not think the money awarded for their slaves a sufficient recompense, and as all awards were made payable in London and not in their own country they were forced to part with their slaves for a sum much below their real value. In the whole matter they felt, they were deeply wronged and unjustly treated ; and as unjustice to their minds had ever been their lot since the occupancy of the country by the British, they determin-— ed to emigrate in a body to the wilder- ness of the north, where they could be perfectly free. Accordingly, they sceed- ed trom the British government, depart- ed from Cape Colony, started north through the wilderness, crossed the Vaal river and settled in what is now called the Transvaal. About 10,000 people joined in this migration or “Great Trek,” and among them was Paul Kruger, President of the Trans- vaal Republic who was then a boy of ten.

The migration of this people has been aptly compared to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. In_ their new homes their lot was not a peace-
