Why, here was the enemy still, entrenched inside the lines of victorious and peace-abiding America trusting, foolish, blind America, which had accepted anything a human riff-raff sneeringly and cynically had offered her in return for her own rich generosity!

By what she knew, by what she wore around her neck, she was separated from all peace-abiding citizens she was outlawed.
A number of memorials were read from Rustenberg, Waterberg, Piet Retief, Utrecht, Middelberg, Zoutpansberg, and Krugersdorp, signed by about 500 burghers, stating that while they valued the friendship of the peace-abiding Uitlanders they petitioned the Raad not to extend the franchise or alter last year's law.
