The settlers were a mere handful among the thousands of emigrants leaving Britain for America and Australasia. But at the Cape their impact was both immediate and far-reaching. Overnight they altered the balance of population in Southern Africa and before long they began to agitate for the rights they were accustomed to as Britons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey had come expecting a paradise of milk and honey. The reality was completely different, yet overwhelmingly they rose to the challenge and created a new life for themselves in an underdeveloped colony. They were to play a vital role in frontier affairs, and their concentrated presence in Albany led to a rapid anglicization of the Eastern Cape that persists still. Their criticism of an outdated colonial system led to judicial and constitutional reform. In the end, they moved away - so sheep country in the Karoo, to the new colony of Natal, to the Boer republics and the diamond mines and goldfields of a rapidly changing Southern Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is their story - a social history illustrated both by quotations from settler writings and by a wealth of photographs (many in colour) of the paintings, places and objects that record the experience of the 1820 settlers in South Africa.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ISBN 9781868063383","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41231769075862,"sku":"The 1820 Settlers by Bryer, Lynne;Hunt, Keith S.","price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20211212_165424.jpg?v=1639829346"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/collections\/Web_background4_900x_42ca4304-eb1d-4640-a26f-32040f668c6b.png?v=1780923996","url":"https:\/\/timeless-collectible-books.com\/collections\/1820-the-british-settlers.oembed","provider":"Timeless Collectible Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
