There is a difference between the Boers and the Afrikaners. People tend to place them together however they are not the same. In the 1830 the Boers wanted to get away from the British and started the "Great Trek" into the rest of what is today South Africa. The Afrikaners did not join the trek and stayed on in the Cape with the British. This being why when the Boers settled in Transvaal and the Orange Free State, they were called Boer Republics not Afrikaner Republics. For political reasons people tend to place the two together today.
