Thanks for this history. I had no idea, this was not covered in my only history class in highschool. No history was offered at university for my major, design, art history yes, but not political. Had had lots to catch up on as an adult.

They tried to persuade the Republic of Texas not to join the Union.

In 2024, those of us in Texas wish we could leave the union.

I’ve said that for years, but we had help that was anti-antiglobalism, instead of anti-Northern Aggression.

the Boers acted as settler-colonialists (farmers, miners). Churchill played an ominous role in the Empire's violence against them. there were differences between the civilian internment camps for the European Boers and the much harsher ones for Blacks - https://libcom.org/article/black-concentration-camps-during-second-anglo-boer-war

inevitably South Africa’s Black tribal population got caught up in the war: "...very often Black farm workers took on the role of ‘agterryers’ (rear rider) in fighting Commandos, their job was a combination of military ‘supply’ and one of a military ‘aide-de-camp’ (assistant) to one or more of the Boer fighters. These ‘agterryers’ ferried ammunition, weapons, supplies and food to the Boer combatants, they arranged feed for horses and in some cases, they were even armed. [....] Black women [....] supported the European Boer women in providing food and feed to frontline commandos and when the concentration camp systems started they (with their children) were also swept up and in many cases accompanied [....] the Boer families interned in the ‘white’ concentration camps..." - https://libcom.org/article/fully-reconcile-boer-war-fully-understand-black-concentration-camps

Mike, please contact fellow Substack author Chris Waldburger, who is South African and a most preceptive thinker. I believe he'd be interested in what you have to say. Thanks!

It seems to me that we have been living through WW3 in slow motion since 2019 at t he behest of traitors obama and joe and all of their democRAT colleagues whether they wear Blue or Red. The war ongoing, US Military never fired a shot. The Enemies are on the inside. They have risen through the ranks of corruption to become puppet masters. Today their puppet is traitor joe with obama pulling the strings. The problem is that too many of the strings are broken and the puppet has failed on a global stage for the whole world to see. It's pathetic for certain. The next major war will be WW4. #DefundTyranny #EndAPECnow #LevelTheCCP #EndUSMCAnow #FreedomIsNotFree
