Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In pursuit of economic gains and driven by a sense of nationalistic duty, the British empire expanded into many lands, often heedless of their native inhabitants. It is; however, difficult to fund imperialistic practices and maintain public support when lives are measured in materials. So, resolutions were made to accommodate the natives so as to maintain public support for expansion n the colonies. In the face of ever greater profits, such promises rarely withstood the tests of avarice and time. As Fox Bourne puts it, "We undertook the protection of the natives of Transvaal" when it was annexed in 1881." "Those natives," he said, "had been our subjects. They were the majority of inhabitants, and we retroceded to the Transvaal the subjects whom we had promised to protect. The treatment of the natives of the Transvaal has been disgraceful. It has been unworthy of a civilized power" (Fox Bourne p. 5) In, Blacks and Whites in South Africa: an account of the past treatment and present condition of South African Natives under British and Boer control he implores the people to recognize the atrocities committed in their names and cease turning blind eyes from the consequences of their own prosperity. Since his plea made in the opening section is the motivation behind his book, it persists throughout the latter sections influenced by his ethical concerns and personal agenda.
