Stout out to my Ashanti people. Most of the Africa richest history come from West Africa. Examples Yoruba, Ashanti, Igbo, Mandinka and Hausa etc.......

@@kwakukumi4729 west Africa was grand as east Africa especially during the middle ages. West Africa has history dating for about 4,000 years starting with dhar tichitt, nok culture, Sudano-Sahelian, and kintampo complex. Thats as old as the greeks, mesoamerican, celtic Germanic Europe, and south east Asia. While East Africa may be older, the east certainly peak during the ancient classical era along with greeks, romans, india, china, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Persians. However, west Africa had its own golden age during medieval era producing urbanization centers that had populations of 100,000 in both the sahel and forest Guinea zones. As well as professional style armies that can surpass up to 100,000 troops as well as capable rulers/military commanders. Timbuktu and Òyó-Ilé or Katunga, capital of the Yoruba empire of Oyo (fl. between the 11th and 19th centuries CE), had a population of over 100,000 people (the largest single population of any African settlement at that time in history). Not mention timbuktu had some of first libraries (2nd behind morroco) in the ancient produce over 700,000 manuscripts which is more then the library of Alexandria in Africa. Some of the most creative kingdoms like benin, oyo, ashanti, igbo, bamiléké, huasa, mande, wolof, and songhai people produce beautiful architecture, sculpture, large palace, mosques, tombs, 2 stories houses, paved walled streets, underground sewage systems, street lighting, markets, and massive walls such as the Benin wall and hausa walls. Our cities were well fortified the region was cluttered with forts like tata fortification (basically west African equivalent to medieval castles) . East Africa as awesome as they were did not influence the west Africans at all besides trade contact relation because the east african empires did not spread to west or central Africa, but rather they have more in coming with north Africa and the middle east. West African civilization were indigenous to the region of west Africa only. The niger river was like life source to our civilization and the trans Sahara trade was the bloodstream to our empires. In fact we had the biggest native empires on the African continent. West Africa culture also have more influence to the African diasporan then the east. West Africa was at least on pair with the fuadal Japan, medieval western and northern Europe, mesoamericans, south east asians, and the maghreb. Still both region played a huge role to the known world through both the classical ancients (east Africa) and middle ages (west Africa) , but where one fall other rises.
Ashanti architects and their houses are some of the beautiful houses in west Africa and Africa as a whole. They are among my favorites alonge with the bamiléké, djenne, timbuktu, malagasy, ndebele, and nubian houses. They showed that mud style or wooden houses can truly shine and are not just simply mud huts.
Yess! The few pics I’ve seen are beautiful. I believe the Ashanti also had stone dwellings, at least among the royalty/elite ruling class (unless I’m confusing materials). Shame the original palace was destroyed by British so we can’t see it now. And that architectural style is prob gone since the knowledge wasn’t fully passed on.
@@jacan4eva they are some modern examples left, unfortunately the new palace seems to have a European style mansion, im not really impressed by it. But they still find ways to keep the traditional style house while still modernizing.
@Only 2comment - Gingerbreadman indeed, the same can be said with the edo kingdom of benin, Portuguese and Dutch was also amazed by that kingdom. Its was probably like coming across a real wakanda or African equivalent to a tenochtitlan. Unfortunately British burnt that kingdom down as well.
@@thatguy464 Yeah agreed but in my opinion the most beautiful African empire is the Benin empire, because they had such cool architecture and art. For example did you saw the Benin kingdom armor? Cause they look imo like African samurais. Or did you saw the Benin pyramids (these houses with a snake on the roof and a bird on top)

The Fante Confederation was the most powerful in Ghana, they defeated the Ashanti and their Allies together with the british.

Akrafena is one most badass African swords, the edo benin ida sword, and mandingo saber, are my personal favorite. Would love to see many techniques with these blades, i mainly see the khopesh, shotal, kaskara, and Takoba being use in sword fighting.
you should have your own documentary show. Like on netflix or TV. I would be tuning in every single day i tell you. Your work is amazing and how you approach topics is very professional.
Home team, can you make a video on the bamiléké kingdom, they have some of the best architect in west Africa as well as producing their own writting scripts and paper comics. Ibrahim Njoya was a comics Artist in colonial-era Cameroon and has some breath taking work. Also a video on the kingdom of mernia in Madagascar Its capital Antananarivo was very urbanized. They are literally a culture blend of bantus and Indonesian. Btw hope you stay safe through this pandemic. Keep up the great work.
love your videos! they’re very informative & they push me to further my own research. i do have a request tho, i’m hard of hearing so i have a hard time understanding most videos without closed captioning. i noticed some of your videos do have that option, but some of them don’t. i was wondering if you could make it so that all of your videos have it? so that i can better understand what you are saying. again, your videos are very informative & i always look forward to watching them!
This was very interesting. I had a discussion about this one time with my friends and we came to the conclusion that the british were always planning on having an akan empire rule since most of ghanas tribes are of akans ethnically speaking. Giving the most dominant ethnic group, regardless of tribe, the power to rule, as long as it was in their favour, was also the easiest way for the british to keep control of "their" land and to intervene even after indepence. It was always going to be a win for the british regardless of which tribe took over. Its a tatic europeans used in most of their rich colonies India, Nigeria, Ghana, Pakistan etc. In countries were they didnt succeed they usually inserted a new power that was beneficial to them one example e.g what the US did with Liberia for instance. Anway i would love another video on Ashantis queen mother who fought for her tribe and people. I first heard of her through a film and since then i have loved the history of her and the ashanti people. I
@@asanteakan70 I just meant that it was always going to be akan people that would rule or dominate Ghana. If it wasnt going to be the ashanti it would have been a different tribe of the same ethnic group (akan)
Tonisha Ram that has nothing to do with the British. Akans dominated the region for before Europeans landed. Sending gold North. Akans had organized centralized governments. Why would British allow Asante to rule. In fact the British didn’t want that. Hence the various wars.
@@asanteakan70 I know that akans are the majority of the region which is why i said that it even if it wasnt the ashanti that dominated it would have still ended up being an akan tribe. The power current tribes have has a lot of do with their former trading power and negotiations with the west. British needed an akaan tribe to rule because it meant ruling the majority and in this case the akan tribe was the ashantis who had more influence and riches then their neighbour through their trading power with the west. You forget to mention that the Ashantis lost the war and that as a result the british gave them the power to dominate Ghana with the condition being that the British still remain in control. Most of the battles many colonial powers thought with tribes or ethnic group wasnt about about not wanting one to rule but instead forcing the other party to compy and sadly they usually got what they wanted. so yeah for the british it would have been very important for the Asante or another major akan tribe to dominate and rule the country because it meant having control over the majority. Most european nations were not even okay with giving a country indepence unless they "approved" of who was in power. Liberia for one didnt become independent from the USA until the US succeeded in getting their minority (afro americans) to be in power and comply.
Tonisha Ram first off all there was no such thing as Ghana back then, British allied with Fante and Ga at points. British allies with anyone against Asante. They didn’t allow Asante to rule. Asante allied with the Dutch, the Dutch were also in competition with the British. The deals after the war were common amongst British so they wouldn’t have to deal with ye what they’d call rebels, again British wanted Asante out of the picture. They didn’t “allow” Asante to rule. They basically said leave the Fante alone because they allowed us to rule over them. The war in 1873 started because the British took over a Dutch fort which the Dutch were paying Asante. The people of elmina were also against the takeover. The British used their African allies to attack elmina. The Asante sent down troops ended up going back that when the British with their allies from the Gold Coast, northern Nigeria, West Indies, Sierra Leon attached Asante. The British didn’t want Asante ruling, they didn’t allow it in fact they did everything they could to undermine Asante rule. So your point doesn’t make sense to me. Especially since the video talks about the late 17th century to early 18th century when British had no and I mean no say in the forest region of modern Ghana. Up until the early 1800s British had no control or say in the interior. When British got their way Asante was no longer dominant Asante lost acsess to the coast. Even then Asante was still a problem for the British the war of the golden stool cane after all that. Let’s not also forget it wasn’t only the British on the Gold Coast, Danes were also there. Makes no sense they’d allow Asante to rule when they took away our king. That’s basically trying to break the whole system. Even trying to take the stool shows they didn’t want no Asante rule. Asante lost all its territory, Fante the British allies didn’t rule over non Fante, everyone basically went back to ruling their people. Because many signed protection deals from non akans to akans signed for protection from Asante.
The video is awesome. I had no idea the Denkyira had interactions with the Dutch and British. I guess that was missing from our history books. I'm Ghanaian by the way. You just gained a follower
Heya, if you need help pronouncing names from within modern-day Ghana, hit me up! Great content, btw. This story isn't very different from what we learned in primary school, so there was little I didn't already know here. What I found interesting was the introduction of European weapons into tribal warfare. That was new!
Is it possible for you to make a vid on ancient akan history because when I try and research that all that comes is the times when Europeans first made contact there. Like I wanna know their migration patterns, where they originated from and what things they were doing centuries before the Europeans came
Wow! This is well researched version of this popular historical narrative. The pronunciation of the names of the characters, however made me giggle 😅. ❤
You did well telling our story to the world. I would wish you had consulted some local people to get the pronunciations of key names right. That would have made your narrative better. #aProudAsantefromKwamang-Kumawu-DuaYawMkwanta
I agree, the ashanti, the mahdist of sudan, dahomy, Somalia's navy, wolof kingdom under the leadership of Lat Jor Ngone Latir Jop, kingdom of kongo, Soyo kingdom, and samori toure of Wassoulou Empire were some of the most fierce resistance of European colonial rule.
matthew mann Your comparison is irrational - totally different regions, eras and motives for forging an empire. Neither European invasion nor gold and slave trade had anything to do with the creation of the Zulu empire. Btw, under Cetshwayo, the resistance against whites was fierce. You shouldn't make white attention the default for the historical perspective and contemplation

@@westafricana4343 West Africa is not a single ethnic group.The Ashantis themselves day they started from the North, cane down to the East and to West Africa. The Ashanti elders say this themselves
@@gingerbreadmangangafarmer2251 And West Africa is not just made up of Ashanti! Also most of them dont even say they came froom NORTH africa they just say the came from the North which means many things... there are thousands of different ethnic groups and tribes north from Ghana and the west coast because its LITERALLY The BOTTOM.. the coast. yet people who obsess over every north east want to think everything good came SPECIFICALLY from "nubia" why? Because Egypt and that region is the only region in africa the white man praises globally so therefore we so desperately want to be that to feel acknowledged also. How is that literally only the "good" cultures in west africa is always said to come from Egypt this and egypt that while when a west african custom is bad they will say its just that... a west african custom? its because the white man and even WEST AFRICANS themselves dont think they are capable of building something without outside influences from some alien and foreign land/ethnic group. And yes West africa is not a single ethnic group. I never said it was.. interesting how you feel the need to say that just because i say WEST yet you dont want to remind yourself that NORTH isnt an ethnic group either.
Thanks Hometeam for sharing a light on my people... boy you butchered the names 😂. Denkyira = Denchira (pronunciation) It’s Komfo Anokye = komfo Anochi (pronunciation).

I think Benin empire cause they had many fire arms and had a really organized army. They also had really badass armors (The Benin armors looked like African samurais imo).
Ashanti empire would crush Benin empire easily if u know about Ashanti’s not even the British can take us down with the help of numerous tribes and other foreign help for over 70 years
The Asante and it's not CLOSE. The Asante, managed to hold off the British on and off for 77 years, managing to get a win in the first war, a stalemate in the second (with some sources even stating the Asante on the upper hand before disease set in) and one loss, having a civil war afterwards, which hit them BADLY, managing to regroup. After that, having another "loss" technically, as the Asantes didn't fight, reducing them to their post Asante-Denkyria war status territory wise. Even after ALL of that, they managed to have one more war with the British for 7 months before being defeated. The Benin were wasted in ONE war after a mere NINE days. The Asantes also made their own guns and had armour they got from the Dagbani
can someone please request a video on the various conflicts that took place in the region like Denkyira vs Ga, and the Fante people's tension with the Ashantis (I can supply a few sources if any help is needed)?

Nice video, but I don't see why we as Africans in diaspora have to glorify the Ashanti people so much. Actually, King Osei Tutu 2nd came to the Netherlands a few years ago to celebrate 300 years of trade relations with the Dutch royal family and the Dutch parliament. The Ashanti's were the key of success of the slave in selling their enemy tribes to Arabs, Europeans and Asians until the beginning of the 1900s. Because we are talking about black people here we shouldn't be too romantic about the also inhuman role African nations and tribes played in the slave trade. We are blinded by 'blackness' because we now are a minority in Europe or the America's, but we should be realistic and honest about when talking about ethics. Ashanti's were business partners for hundreds of years with European and Arab traders and knew exactly what happened to their enemy tribes who they sold and mistreated horribly to their business partners from other continents. Let us please get real about it.
Ashanti was the main source of slaves, but how come there is no known slave market in the entire region of Ashanti. Secondly, Ashanti according to historical records did not appear anywhere along the West Coast of the present day Ghana until 1800. For your information Ashanti has tons of gold both underground and above ground and did not need to sell humans to make a living. There are kidnappers all overall the world even to this day one can be kidnapped and be sold into sex slave.
@@agoogo5026 sounds bright but unfortunately not entirely true. Ashanti kings and their people were partners with the British and the Dutch for hundreds of years.

Greetings, it's interesting how the Ashanti was labeled dominant. But yet Ghana speaks the language of its colonial masters (English). Who were allied with the Fante confederation made of 18 chiefs... I believe the bond of 1844 will have you understand how Ghana attained the ne Gate way to Africa... The Fante confederation rivaled and also defeated the Ashanti and thejr allies together with their allies the british.. the total defeat of the Ashanti in the hands of the Fante and the British would put Yaa Asantewa in Exile... This will later fulfil the ambition of British law to expand into Most of African held british rule...

+@@asanteakan70 Nope wrong Harriet Tubman is from the tribe of Asante her great Grandchildren and Great nieces and nephew here on CZcams say so. But l no, l no them saying this isn't proof. But the Asante people are a Tribe in Africa. 🕎
Michael JoToya Jackson where did I dispute Harriet Tubman ? Don’t tell me about my own peoples culture and history. It’s Asante, “Ashanti” is European corruption of Asante. Akan is the ethnic group asante is a state/kingdom/country founded by Osei Tutu and Okomfo Anokye. Asante people are AKANs. Akans split into different states, groups, kingdoms. Denkyria are Akan, Akyem are Akans, Baoule are Akans. All can be from the same Clans even if they are in different groups.
Looks like alot of romanticism,,, the Asante only became another Denkirya ,, they raided villages that had nothing to do with their problem with Denkirya and ended selling more blacks into slavery than the denkirya.... and they constantly lie about their history ,, for example they always lying about the golden stool ,,,the golden stool comes from the Bono people which are the first to be called Akan and they are the progenitors of all Akans ..its very dangerous to romanticize about the Asante
The Golden stool doesn't come from the Bono, the Asante had enough resources to create it (they had Gold and wood). In fact it was said that stools of the Kwaman clan states were so ornate, Osei Tut had them destroyed just to ensure unity behind one stool
The Stool you are talking about was from the 1800 made by Ama Tamia, the Queen mother of the Bono, as a way to disrespect the Asante, who currently were the Bonos overlord. The Asante would destroy it slightly before (handed over by Kwadwo Adinkra) or after the second Asante Bono war
The Bono create this story as the are desperate to be seen as the greatest Akan people, despite the fact that historically they have problems bringing actual primary historic sources to help them that a historian will take seriously (no, a modern day Hene's word doesn't count) (the Asante, Fante AND the Akwamu have far more sources attributed to them about their exploits)
And then saying that the Asante were just another Denkyria. That would imply the two were of similar power, which they weren't. The Denkyrians held onto power for less than a century (which itself isn't the problem), losing it to their own vassals (THATS the problem). The Asante held onto power for much longer, controlled a larger amount of territory and we only stopped by the British, their more advanced tech and then bringing the people of the whole Gold Coast (the disunified Mankessim, Denkyrians descendants whose ancestors hadn't feld to the Asante and we're doing a similar thing to the Bonos now, the Wassa, The Accra states and VARIOUS other groups. Even then it took the British around 7 decades
Finally slavery. A point that you actually got right... kinda. 1. The Asante were PROLIFIC slave traders. They were also alive longer as the dominant power in the area than the Denkyrians. No shit they were gonna sell more slaves 2. No, there are no records that the Asante engaged in slave raids. In fact there is an answer from the Asantehene that seems to oppose it. When the British asked why Osei Bonsu didn't engage in slave raids, he asked why he would need to do that. That was written by the British from THE TIME (an ACTUAL example of a primary source). It makes sense as the Asante would either get their slaves (where there is actual proof from the time) from tributes, PoWs (the Asante did not take prisoners) or criminals. There were 3 classes of slaves, where the overwhelmingly largest group was the lowest class, the ones treated like trash. Their leading causes of death were dying in mines or being sacrificed, which was common. And the sacrifice technique was one of the most brutal and metal methods of execution (as the Abrafo (the executioners/ special forces/ warrior class of the Asante would do this onto criminals (even each other if they commited a crime) or any unlucky enough to be outside during an Akan religious day). Then I will remind you that every state around the Asante traded slaves. Not to absolve the Asante (what they did was scummy) but I'm just saying

Some of the most creative kingdoms like benin, oyo, ashanti, igbo, bamiléké, huasa, mande, wolof, and songhai people produce beautiful architecture, sculpture, large palace, mosques, tombs, 2 stories houses, paved walled streets, underground sewage systems, street lighting, markets, and massive walls such as the Benin wall and hausa walls. Our cities were well fortified the region was cluttered with forts like tata fortification (basically west African equivalent to medieval castles) .
East Africa as awesome as they were did not influence the west Africans at all besides trade contact relation because the east african empires did not spread to west or central Africa, but rather they have more in coming with north Africa and the middle east. West African civilization were indigenous to the region of west Africa only. The niger river was like life source to our civilization and the trans Sahara trade was the bloodstream to our empires. In fact we had the biggest native empires on the African continent. West Africa culture also have more influence to the African diasporan then the east. West Africa was at least on pair with the fuadal Japan, medieval western and northern Europe, mesoamericans, south east asians, and the maghreb.
Still both region played a huge role to the known world through both the classical ancients (east Africa) and middle ages (west Africa) , but where one fall other rises.
@Ebro Big boy i agree as well.
Ashanti architects and their houses are some of the beautiful houses in west Africa and Africa as a whole. They are among my favorites alonge with the bamiléké, djenne, timbuktu, malagasy, ndebele, and nubian houses. They showed that mud style or wooden houses can truly shine and are not just simply mud huts.
Yess! The few pics I’ve seen are beautiful. I believe the Ashanti also had stone dwellings, at least among the royalty/elite ruling class (unless I’m confusing materials). Shame the original palace was destroyed by British so we can’t see it now. And that architectural style is prob gone since the knowledge wasn’t fully passed on.
@@jacan4eva they are some modern examples left, unfortunately the new palace seems to have a European style mansion, im not really impressed by it. But they still find ways to keep the traditional style house while still modernizing.
@Only 2comment - Gingerbreadman indeed, the same can be said with the edo kingdom of benin, Portuguese and Dutch was also amazed by that kingdom. Its was probably like coming across a real wakanda or African equivalent to a tenochtitlan. Unfortunately British burnt that kingdom down as well.
@@thatguy464 Yeah agreed but in my opinion the most beautiful African empire is the Benin empire, because they had such cool architecture and art. For example did you saw the Benin kingdom armor? Cause they look imo like African samurais. Or did you saw the Benin pyramids (these houses with a snake on the roof and a bird on top)
Good job bro, this story is good for a movie or even a tv series.

But KEMET Egytian people are The Offspring/Descendants of Ham one of the sons of Noah, The Meaning of Ashanti in English means "The Children of Ashan" and Ashan was one of the sons of Judah and Judah is one of the sons of Jacob/Yisrael making the Tribes of Ashanti the modern-day Descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob/Yisrael.

The Fante Confederation was the most powerful in Ghana, they defeated the Ashanti and their Allies together with the british. After signing the bond of 1844, the British will later utilize them into warfare and try to enslave them in Haiti. The Nation of Haiti represents the Fante tribe, a symbol that the keepers of The gate way to Africa can never be conquered, not by man nor any deity or god

Can you please do a video on the Efik-Ibibio people of Nigeria?!?
This was very interesting. I had a discussion about this one time with my friends and we came to the conclusion that the british were always planning on having an akan empire rule since most of ghanas tribes are of akans ethnically speaking. Giving the most dominant ethnic group, regardless of tribe, the power to rule, as long as it was in their favour, was also the easiest way for the british to keep control of "their" land and to intervene even after indepence. It was always going to be a win for the british regardless of which tribe took over. Its a tatic europeans used in most of their rich colonies India, Nigeria, Ghana, Pakistan etc. In countries were they didnt succeed they usually inserted a new power that was beneficial to them one example e.g what the US did with Liberia for instance. Anway i would love another video on Ashantis queen mother who fought for her tribe and people. I first heard of her through a film and since then i have loved the history of her and the ashanti people.
I
Tonisha Ram what do you mean an akan empire rule ?
@@asanteakan70 I just meant that it was always going to be akan people that would rule or dominate Ghana. If it wasnt going to be the ashanti it would have been a different tribe of the same ethnic group (akan)
Tonisha Ram that has nothing to do with the British. Akans dominated the region for before Europeans landed. Sending gold North. Akans had organized centralized governments. Why would British allow Asante to rule. In fact the British didn’t want that. Hence the various wars.
@@asanteakan70 I know that akans are the majority of the region which is why i said that it even if it wasnt the ashanti that dominated it would have still ended up being an akan tribe. The power current tribes have has a lot of do with their former trading power and negotiations with the west. British needed an akaan tribe to rule because it meant ruling the majority and in this case the akan tribe was the ashantis who had more influence and riches then their neighbour through their trading power with the west. You forget to mention that the Ashantis lost the war and that as a result the british gave them the power to dominate Ghana with the condition being that the British still remain in control. Most of the battles many colonial powers thought with tribes or ethnic group wasnt about about not wanting one to rule but instead forcing the other party to compy and sadly they usually got what they wanted. so yeah for the british it would have been very important for the Asante or another major akan tribe to dominate and rule the country because it meant having control over the majority. Most european nations were not even okay with giving a country indepence unless they "approved" of who was in power. Liberia for one didnt become independent from the USA until the US succeeded in getting their minority (afro americans) to be in power and comply.
Tonisha Ram first off all there was no such thing as Ghana back then, British allied with Fante and Ga at points. British allies with anyone against Asante. They didn’t allow Asante to rule. Asante allied with the Dutch, the Dutch were also in competition with the British. The deals after the war were common amongst British so they wouldn’t have to deal with ye what they’d call rebels, again British wanted Asante out of the picture. They didn’t “allow” Asante to rule. They basically said leave the Fante alone because they allowed us to rule over them. The war in 1873 started because the British took over a Dutch fort which the Dutch were paying Asante. The people of elmina were also against the takeover. The British used their African allies to attack elmina. The Asante sent down troops ended up going back that when the British with their allies from the Gold Coast, northern Nigeria, West Indies, Sierra Leon attached Asante. The British didn’t want Asante ruling, they didn’t allow it in fact they did everything they could to undermine Asante rule. So your point doesn’t make sense to me. Especially since the video talks about the late 17th century to early 18th century when British had no and I mean no say in the forest region of modern Ghana. Up until the early 1800s British had no control or say in the interior. When British got their way Asante was no longer dominant Asante lost acsess to the coast. Even then Asante was still a problem for the British the war of the golden stool cane after all that. Let’s not also forget it wasn’t only the British on the Gold Coast, Danes were also there. Makes no sense they’d allow Asante to rule when they took away our king. That’s basically trying to break the whole system. Even trying to take the stool shows they didn’t want no Asante rule. Asante lost all its territory, Fante the British allies didn’t rule over non Fante, everyone basically went back to ruling their people. Because many signed protection deals from non akans to akans signed for protection from Asante.

The Ashanti despite there success being overall superior to the Zulu are not as popular or well known
I agree, the ashanti, the mahdist of sudan, dahomy, Somalia's navy, wolof kingdom under the leadership of Lat Jor Ngone Latir Jop, kingdom of kongo, Soyo kingdom, and samori toure of Wassoulou Empire were some of the most fierce resistance of European colonial rule.
matthew mann Your comparison is irrational - totally different regions, eras and motives for forging an empire. Neither European invasion nor gold and slave trade had anything to do with the creation of the Zulu empire. Btw, under Cetshwayo, the resistance against whites was fierce.

Because Egypt and that region is the only region in africa the white man praises globally so therefore we so desperately want to be that to feel acknowledged also. How is that literally only the "good" cultures in west africa is always said to come from Egypt this and egypt that while when a west african custom is bad they will say its just that... a west african custom? its because the white man and even WEST AFRICANS themselves dont think they are capable of building something without outside influences from some alien and foreign land/ethnic group.

The Asante and it's not CLOSE. The Asante, managed to hold off the British on and off for 77 years, managing to get a win in the first war, a stalemate in the second (with some sources even stating the Asante on the upper hand before disease set in) and one loss, having a civil war afterwards, which hit them BADLY, managing to regroup. After that, having another "loss" technically, as the Asantes didn't fight, reducing them to their post Asante-Denkyria war status territory wise. Even after ALL of that, they managed to have one more war with the British for 7 months before being defeated. The Benin were wasted in ONE war after a mere NINE days. The Asantes also made their own guns and had armour they got from the Dagbani

Nice video, but I don't see why we as Africans in diaspora have to glorify the Ashanti people so much. Actually, King Osei Tutu 2nd came to the Netherlands a few years ago to celebrate 300 years of trade relations with the Dutch royal family and the Dutch parliament. The Ashanti's were the key of success of the slave in selling their enemy tribes to Arabs, Europeans and Asians until the beginning of the 1900s. Because we are talking about black people here we shouldn't be too romantic about the also inhuman role African nations and tribes played in the slave trade. We are blinded by 'blackness' because we now are a minority in Europe or the America's, but we should be realistic and honest about when talking about ethics. Ashanti's were business partners for hundreds of years with European and Arab traders and knew exactly what happened to their enemy tribes who they sold and mistreated horribly to their business partners from other continents. Let us please get real about it.
Ashanti was the main source of slaves, but how come there is no known slave market in the entire region of Ashanti.
Secondly, Ashanti according to historical records did not appear anywhere along the West Coast of the present day Ghana until 1800. For your information Ashanti has tons of gold both underground and above ground and did not need to sell humans to make a living. There are kidnappers all overall the world even to this day one can be kidnapped and be sold into sex slave.

Greetings, it's interesting how the Ashanti was labeled dominant. But yet Ghana speaks the language of its colonial masters (English).

The Fante confederation rivaled and also defeated the Ashanti and thejr allies together with their allies the british.. the total defeat of the Ashanti in the hands of the Fante and the British would put Yaa Asantewa in Exile... This will later fulfil the ambition of British law to expand into Most of African held british rule...

Looks like alot of romanticism,,, the Asante only became another Denkirya ,, they raided villages that had nothing to do with their problem with Denkirya and ended selling more blacks into slavery than the denkirya.... and they constantly lie about their history ,, for example they always lying about the golden stool ,,,the golden stool comes from the Bono people which are the first to be called Akan and they are the progenitors of all Akans ..its very dangerous to romanticize about the Asante
The Golden stool doesn't come from the Bono, the Asante had enough resources to create it (they had Gold and wood). In fact it was said that stools of the Kwaman clan states were so ornate, Osei Tut had them destroyed just to ensure unity behind one stool
The Stool you are talking about was from the 1800 made by Ama Tamia, the Queen mother of the Bono, as a way to disrespect the Asante, who currently were the Bonos overlord. The Asante would destroy it slightly before (handed over by Kwadwo Adinkra) or after the second Asante Bono war
The Bono create this story as the are desperate to be seen as the greatest Akan people, despite the fact that historically they have problems bringing actual primary historic sources to help them that a historian will take seriously (no, a modern day Hene's word doesn't count) (the Asante, Fante AND the Akwamu have far more sources attributed to them about their exploits)
And then saying that the Asante were just another Denkyria. That would imply the two were of similar power, which they weren't. The Denkyrians held onto power for less than a century (which itself isn't the problem), losing it to their own vassals (THATS the problem). The Asante held onto power for much longer, controlled a larger amount of territory and we only stopped by the British, their more advanced tech and then bringing the people of the whole Gold Coast (the disunified Mankessim, Denkyrians descendants whose ancestors hadn't feld to the Asante and we're doing a similar thing to the Bonos now, the Wassa, The Accra states and VARIOUS other groups. Even then it took the British around 7 decades
Finally slavery. A point that you actually got right... kinda. 1. The Asante were PROLIFIC slave traders. They were also alive longer as the dominant power in the area than the Denkyrians. No shit they were gonna sell more slaves 2. No, there are no records that the Asante engaged in slave raids. In fact there is an answer from the Asantehene that seems to oppose it. When the British asked why Osei Bonsu didn't engage in slave raids, he asked why he would need to do that. That was written by the British from THE TIME (an ACTUAL example of a primary source). It makes sense as the Asante would either get their slaves (where there is actual proof from the time) from tributes, PoWs (the Asante did not take prisoners) or criminals. There were 3 classes of slaves, where the overwhelmingly largest group was the lowest class, the ones treated like trash. Their leading causes of death were dying in mines or being sacrificed, which was common. And the sacrifice technique was one of the most brutal and metal methods of execution (as the Abrafo (the executioners/ special forces/ warrior class of the Asante would do this onto criminals (even each other if they commited a crime) or any unlucky enough to be outside during an Akan religious day). Then I will remind you that every state around the Asante traded slaves. Not to absolve the Asante (what they did was scummy) but I'm just saying
