Americans Should Favor England on Trade and Boer War Views
A Virginia writer argues strong economic ties with Great Britain benefit the United States, noting Britain pays about half of the US product imports and loans. The piece explains the Boers of South Africa as Dutch settlers allied with Britain, describes their trek and governance, and critiques Kruger and his republic. It discusses British suzerainty, the Transvaal and Orange Free State status, and a controversial court case involving American miners and Boer officials.
