Inscriptions
The Boers, also known as afrikaners, were the descendants of the dutch settlers of Southern Africa. Britain took possession of the dutch Cape colony in 1806 during the Napoleonic wars, sparking resistance from the independence minded Boers, who resented the Anglicization of South Africa and Britain's anti slavery policies.
In 1833 the Boers began an exodus into African tribal territory.
