Age of Exploration?Cape Colony (Cape of Good Hope) –
Control from the Dutch to the British; Boers resent British laws/customs so they migrate north and encounter the Zulus
Slave trade – mostly outlawed; US freed slaves – Liberia (independent republic)
![Page 13: Imperialism](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/5681693c550346895de0b090/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
