And Jamaica also had a Nanny , who was an Ashanti from Africa. Perhaps this was the same person. God is God, because through her, the maroons got freedom and land! Bless up
Joseph Ofori Jamaicans claim the tribe of Judah so that's good enough!!! They love their Afrikan root's!!!!! Peace to the Rastafarian Warrior's!!!!!! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
The Maroons are from Ashanti kingdom Ghana and that's why you have kojo who stood up to fight the British in Accompong town st Elisabeth , Jamaica. The same great Ashanti spirit run through great descendants of the great Ashanti Kingdom worldwide...
If the Maroon's are Ashanti decent then that would make the Ashanti part of the West Afrikan Senegalese-Mauritania Empire! Are the Ashanti indigenous to West Afrika?
My DNA is Ashanti people I just have to admit we have to admit that our women always the one who gets our asses out of trouble no matter where we at in the world
The White British were the most dreadful, deceitful on earth, just like rest of the European powers at that time. I am pride of my lineage Akan/ Subgroup Ashante (Adansi) /Akyem., never ever forgot your original roots and history because if you do your absolutely lost.
Abibimanba People need education here. In Ashanti, slaves were not treated like the way British treated them. slaves were free to marry their masters sons and daughters, and were a medium of expansion of the kingdom. most of the people in Ashanti, even some chiefs, are sons of northerners which some chiefs have confirmed even recently. the manhyia palace is surrounded by northern tribes who have today taken major parts of the Kumasi business district as their own. thus instead of killing abled men during wars, they were captured to expand the kingdom and were treated well. unfortunately, Ashantis didn't know that their mode if enslavement was different from that of the British.
Another lie there is proof that the ashanti elites were educated in London as early as the 1700's. Living in london there was a huge abolition movement in london during thelate 1700's and 1800's. These educated ashantis never learned of the slave trade. It is preposterous also kru ethnic group from Liberia were educated in London as early as the 1700's too. Many african elite social class were being educated in Portugal, London, Paris etc. They learned of the barbaric slave trade. They didn't care it didn't affect them. The former kongo empire they sent their elite children to be educated in Portugal during the 1700's. Some ethnostates were prolific slave traders also selling off those low status within their ethnostate.
Abibimanba Boss, I don't think you really know Ashanti history. The current king of Ashantis admitted some time ago that most of the royals have northern origin. For you to appreciate this, You must understand the Ashanti system of governance then and their way of life coupled to their entire nature. Ashantis were short, black and very stout. You can read historians like Rattray and other books to find out. But employing slaves to marry royals have given rise to tall people, some of which even ruled. Sometimes, slaves even became chiefs however with a resistance. For further reading, read about the kambosie regarding Ashantis and Dagomba in northern Ghana. I must however admit that selling slaves is absolutely wrong in its entirety. But, Ashantis were always wrong and even across the Atlantic, they caused mayhem.You can read about the maroons in Jamaica and the Koromantin slaves. Get back yo me if you want to learn Ashanti history that is really true. Thanks
Bro's thanks for your the truthful presentation. I have been watching a lot of this tour videos, no tour guide has been able to say it so vivid as this guy had said. It has been always Ashanti's this Ashanti's that, it has to be stopped; by this confession
I heard a story about a battle Ashanti had with British and the british pulling their gun chest out found they had macaroni and not guns so British lost that battle. Is that true or made up?
So much lies here! Asantes were allied to the Dutch. The Fante was allied to the British. So the Fante fought about 3 wars against the Dutch. The same way the Asante fought against the British. It was the Dutch-Asante Alliance vs the British-Fante alliance! History has been so distorted, it's even now hilarious.
Fantes never opposed Asantes without provocations...Asantes were rather using their Confederacy and its dutch alliances to bully other single and smaller states and to raid their territory...they brought this behaviour to the coastal areas, in which reulted in so many wars in that coastal ares which were all credited to the British...the only time the fantes formed alliance with the British is 1844 of which they sign a bond of military alliance which eventually ended the Ashanti empire bcus of Ashantis occupation of one of fantes states which is Elmina....Ashantis have been spreading too much propaganda against the coastal areas especially the fantes...people have to know that Ashantis were pro-Dutch while Fantes were pro-British and everyone was protecting their self interest.. That Anglo-Ashanti war is a misnomer bcus the British never had the necessary military to defeats those large armies of Asantes and most of the wars in Gold Coast were fought by local rivals, the Europeans were just the catalyst..people should start to read wide bcus there are so much propaganda on the internet 🥂
We should stop about 49 tribe and ashante and fante in 2020 can still talk about history if we want but the tribe and fante and this and that need to stop no body is better or the best just one Ghana one peoples one Ghanaians 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️❤️
If Ghanans King's and hunters were so strong, how come that the British where able to make the Ghanaians territory as their administrative headquarters?
Ashanti Hebrew's allowed the British to build those damn slave dungeon's and Christian Churches!!!!!!! The slave's were the Moorish North African's brought from Spain and Europe!!!!!!
SARAI Dawta of ISRAEL Yeah I am!!!! You will find me everywhere pertaining to Afrika and Israelite's!!! I'm of the Ancient Riff Pirate's (Berber's) !!!! 😎
@ONE TRUE GAWWD! We didn’t allow them . We rather wanted them out of your shores for indulging in slavery,etc. we fought them many times but the greedy Fanti who were their original allies were the problem. They allowed them to build those castles and dungeons.
@Atlas24 Shut up there with your ignorance. Ashanti's never sold anybody. How can Ashantis sell slaves to people(British) they were always fighting with? And the reason why all those irrelevant coastal tribes came together to form alliance with the British was that,all of them were Ashanti slaves. Ashantis conquered all the coastal tribes. Go and read your history well before exhibiting your ignorance publicly
Nuella Kuffour really my bro. why not ask northern that ? FOOL. With all due respect to Ashanti kingdom and yaa asentewaa. they all benefited from slaving the Northerners.

Whatever happened during slavery has already happened. We cannot changed that history. As a result, black people across the globe have suffered for hundreds of years. No one should take pride in that. What can we do to ensure thar our great grandchildren do not continue to suffer?
The British couldn't defeat the Ashantis even with the help of the coastal people so the set the Whole place on Fire...Scorched Earth Policy😥...if I can't have it ..no one can..was the British attitude
This guy don't know what he is talking about. The Fante's never ran to the British for protection from the Asantes. The seat of government was in Cape Coast. The Europeans first set foot in Ghana by coastal areas where the Fante's are.
It is important to word things correctly. There would be no "Ghana" if not for Colonization. "Ghana", like any other Colony, are creations of Colonizers. Thus, if Ashanti and Fante United, there would have never been a Ghana. And this is good, because today, we refer to Ashanti and other Afrikan-made nations as "Tribes", while in the face of calling Colonies, "Nations".
A. B. No he is not I’m Ashanti this is what my grand parents told me this the reason why British colonise British colonise Ghana fantes join them because Ashanti force
RED FLAG! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. HE DOESN'T HAVE ALL HIS FACTS TOGETHER. YOU ARE STILL READING ABOUT YAAA ASANTEWAA? COME ON BRO, PUT YOUR FACTS TOGETHER!
Let's be true to our history, folks: The Ashantis were the biggest slave traders throughout the Atlantic slave trade, in fact , their empire grew as a direct result of it.
So true. I was going to respond but I didn't want to be attacked by those who want to stick to a certain narrative. The Ashanti-Fanti war led to thousands of slaves being shipped to the Americas. The Fanti would raid Ashanti villages and sell the captives to Europeans and the Ashanti did the same thing. A lack of understanding of history is what leads to the ignorance of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. I believe this is one of the most misunderstood episodes in history. The slave trade couldn't have existed without the participation of Africans. The majority of slaves were prisoners of war sold to Europeans by African kingdoms. It is such a tragedy that this isn't told. I understand it because as a member of the diaspora, our memory only extends to us being enslaved in the Americas. We have forgotten how we got on those slave ships in the first place. Add that to the fact that Black people in the Americas see things only through the lens of race, and it's almost impossible for them to fathom that Africans sold Africans. This dude in the video is spreading nothing but propaganda and those Blacks who don't know their history beyond what they're told in grammar school, fall for it.
Why do you tell this Nonsense in public are we Ghanains or divided Ghana? You must study whiles you speak to public poor man heaven is rich man hell.onece more make study because the harm is already done, but dont forget that the evil that man do...?
The guy knows what we call history. I'm proud to be an African 💪
Ashantis are a strong people.I love their architecture.They should be brought back
And Jamaica also had a Nanny , who was an Ashanti from Africa. Perhaps this was the same person.
God is God, because through her, the maroons got freedom and land!
Bless up
Jennifer Somers The Maroon's were the Moorish Muslims!!! The only African's that really fought the white race were the African Muslim's!!!!!
