What are some similarities between the American Civil War and Anglo Boer War?
RKramp
The American Civil War lasted 4 years, 1861 - 1865. The Anglo-Boer War 3 years, 1899 - 1902. That's almost the same lengths. In both cases the Unionists against the Confederacy. South Africa had the Unionists of the Cape and Natal, with the Confederacy being the Transvaal and Orange Free State.
Both cases had the Confederacy as the rebellious, conservative ones. The USA, being in the Northern Hemisphere, had the conservative part in the south. South Africa, being in the Southern Hemisphere, had the conservative part in the north. The conservative areas were thus closest to the tropics. It has been observed that conservative areas are usually those without contrasting climates.
Both wars had the Confederacy starting the war, with their invasion of the Unionists, then a turn of the tide, and the Confederacy being occupied. (Liberalism, progress and unity triumphing over conservatism and separation.)
Both had the Unionists cutting off the importing of supplies to the Confederates.
In both wars the Confederacy had broken away from the Unionists beforehand. With South Africa, there were the Boers migrating away from the Unionists and then setting up their own states, and then shaking off attempts at British rule.
Both wars were essentially North against South.
Both wars led to a union of the countries.
Both were 'whites only' wars, not concerning other races. Although there were other races who fought in them. And so on.
