To the beginning of XIX century bushmeny in the Cape colony have been practically exterminated. Other radical people of the country - gottentoty - have obeyed to drills. The breeding unions have broken up, natives began to be employed on farms by drills where with them addressed practically as with slaves.
Drills, moving ahead in depth of the country, have suddenly faced the new opponent. It were Africans of tribes to a bow - atleticheski the combined black giants standing at higher step of social development, than bushmeny and gottentoty, to the Bow (in a literal translation - "people") is a group of the various people speaking in related languages. They were cattlemen, had advanced system of the organisation of breeding management, knew fusion and iron processing, used metal tools of work. They owned even fire-arms as for a long time contacted to Arabs and Portugueses. Once to a bow have left the primordial earths in the Central and East Africa and drills, - pastures for cattle have moved on the south in search of the same, as.
To the Bow have faced drills at the Big Fish river. Here the East Indian company rather reluctantly removing borders of colonies on the east as to her all became more difficult to supervise actions of constantly moving drills, has established a new boundary. The Kaapstadsky authorities have strictly forbidden to cross the river, but neither drills, nor tribes a plait (the people to a bow) did not pay attention to frontier marks.
That Attempt and other party to promote in depth of another's territory have led to the first Â"kafrskoj to warÂ", the long series which have become by the beginning of bloody boundary campaigns. Drills have understood, that deal with the serious opponent. Passing and approach, a plait reduced to ashes their constructions, even have grasped fertile area in "white" territory. Drills have addressed for the military help to the government. But they were waited by disappointment. The new district chief of boundary territories who were under the influence of ideas of the French revolution, come true shortly before that in far Europe, recognised for a plait the right to own the earths occupied with them.
The Indignant drills autocratically have displaced the chief, have selected own Â"council of citizensÂ" and declared that do not wish to submit more to authorities from Kaapstada. It was the first step on a way of formation independent burskoj republics.
