==Concentration Camps==

The British systematically destroyed Boer crops, and killed cattle in order to deny food to the Boer Army.  Boer houses were also burned.  They forced Boer civilians into [[concentration camps]] where over twenty-seven thousand died because of hunger and disease.  Most of the victims were children and old people and this caused great bitterness among Boers who regarded the death-toll as a war crime.[http://www.boer.co.za/boerwar/hellkamp.htm]
