English Boer War views spark debate in North American Review
The December through March numbers of North American Review feature articles on the South African war. Editors note that most defend English policy, while a clear majority argue the conflict is conquest. The essayists recount Boer dominance in early South Africa, English encroachment in Natal and the Transvaal, and controversial residence and mining laws. They compare Boer governance with English actions, criticizing imperial motives and noting abuses in Kimberley mines. The piece ends with an advertisement urging readers to subscribe to The Town Homestead and related farming journals for a bundled offer.
