Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Britain and the Dutch Republic Each of these forms a chapter in itself, and will be found to have its bearing on the actual situation. Slavery was abolished throughout the British dominions in 1834. The emancipation of slaves without what was considered as full compensation gave rise at the Cape, as in the West Indian Islands, to an industrial crisis, and was the cause of very serious, and, to some extent, legitimate complaint on the part of the large slave owners. At the Cape the employers of slave labor were principally Dutch farmers, and their objection was not only to the dislocation of industry which restilted from the compulsory sale at a price below market value of their slave property, but also, and very strongly, to the philanthropic principle of equality which the abolition of slavery involved. There were also other grievances, some of which were not altogether unlike those of which the Uitlanders of the Transvaal now complain. An important distinction between the grievances of the Dutch population of the Cape of that day and the contemporary grievance of the Uitlander is, however, to be found in the fact that the difficulties at the Cape had their rise in a period before the great Reform Bill, when many British subjects in the United Kingdom suffered under similar disabilities.
