    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] South Africa (History)
    2. Source: Encyclopedia South Africa (History) South Africa (History)Bantu-speaking peoples moved into the region from E central Africa about 1500. The first permanent European settlement, a Dutch EAST INDIA COMPANY station, was set up in 1652. By 1707 there were about 1,780 freeholders of European descent in South Africa, with about 1,100 slaves. The first of a long series of wars broke out (1779) between the Xhosa people and white farmers, known as Boers, who had mo ved inland. Britain replaced the Dutch at the Cape in 1795 and was awarded the territory by the Congress of VIENNA in 1814. Disturbed by British rule, which accorded legal rights to free blacks and Coloureds and abolished slavery, some 12,000 Boers left the Cape in what is known as the Great TREK (1835-43) into the interior and Natal. Britain annexed Natal (1843), but the Boer republics of Orange Free State and the Transvaal were established (1850s). The discovery of diamonds (1867) and especially of gold (1886) spurred great economic development. Following increasing tension between the non-Afrikaner whites (Uitlanders) and the dominant Afrikaners, the two Boer republics declared war on Britain. The SOUTH AFRICAN WAR (Boer War; 1899-1902) was won by the British, who established (1910) the Union of South Africa, with dominion status. South Africa joined the Allies in World War I and afterward received a mandate over South West Africa (Namibia). Under Prime Minister J.B.M. HERTZOG (1924-39) South Africa gained final British recognition of independence (1931), prospered economically, and further suppressed nonwhites. J.C. SMUTS brought South Africa into World War II on the Allied side. Through the policy of APARTHEID (complete segregation), white supremacy was strengthened during the regimes of H.F. VERWOERD (1958-66), B.J. Vorster (1966-78), and P.W. BOTHA (1978-89), leaders of the National party, which ruled from 1948 to 1993. F.W. DE KLERK, who became president in 1989, removed the ban on the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC) and other antiapartheid parties and released Nelson MANDELA and other political prisoners. All remaining apartheid laws were repealed (1991), and an interim constitution ending white rule was completed in 1993. A multiparty transitional government council was formed, and the first elections open to all races were held in April 1994. The ANC won over 60% of the vote, and Mandela was elected president.

    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] BLACK DUTCH PEOPLE (Search Engine)
    2. Hi List, Upon researching the words "Black Dutch People" today, this is the result I was given while using an encyclopedia search engine: Alabama (Land and People) Alabama (Land and People)Except for the southern edge of the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS, in the northeast, Alabama consists mostly of rolling plains drained by the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers. The fertile Black Belt is located in central Alabama. The climate is subtropical and humid. More than 60% of the population lives in urban areas, principally in BIRMINGHAM, a steel center; MOBILE, a major U.S. port; MONTGOMERY, the capital; and HUNTSVILLE, an aerospace center. The population in 1990 was 73.6% white and 25.3% African American, with the remainder in other groups.

They occupied both banks of the Hudson R., almost to Lake Champlain. The MOHEGANS were a tribe of the Mahican group; both have been called Mohicans.

    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] RE: Yesterday
    2. We were watching the local News last night and guess what they reported on the Rally in Denver Yesterday, Then went on to explain what it was all about, told of how history had played up Columbus, when in fact he was nothing more then a murderous voyager who had invaded the waters of this and surrounding islands for his Owen greed along with the French it soon became a sport, and they also reported on a classroom of young children that was being thought the real story I thought to my self that when this kind of news comes from our local news I am proud to be apart of a community that will report and support the truth, we are a long way from perfect but we are trying, May your Waters Run Gentle, With Love Care And Concern, Alece, Little Hawk,
