Die Britse Owerheid en die Groot Trek (Hardcover) - Muller, C. F. J.

'Die Britse Owerheid en die Groot Trek' (The British Authority and the Great Trek) is a historical study that examines the complex relationship between the British authorities and the Voortrekkers (pioneers) during the Great Trek in South Africa. The book delves into the factors that led to the Trek, including the Slagtersnek Rebellion, and explores the interactions between the Voortrekkers and various European powers like the Portuguese, French, Germans, Dutch, and Americans. A key focus is the role of missionary philanthropists in pressuring the British to protect indigenous populations against the Voortrekkers. The book aims to provide clear and objective answers to questions debated by historians regarding the causes and consequences of the Great Trek, particularly the British perspective and involvement.
