I'm a proud Coromantee Descendant. From the Harris Clan of Moore Town Jamaica. Happy to see you dive more into the African Atlantic world and the many Nations that existed and still exist. If you haven't already look into the Miskito Kingdom which were a mixture of native central Americans and Africans called Zambo. The British were allied with them and actually used Miskito mercenaries in the first Maroon war. Much Love.

@@abibjahleel419 yes it began there, what 300,000 years ago! People move around. The sons of Jacob were dark skinned we know that. The tribe of Gad went to Ethiopia, kept the writings and traditions going. The other tribes were scattered as it says, taken to far away places on ships in iron shackles round their necks, as stated in the book. Have you ever heard of hebrew israelites? It's where i first heard about it. I said, what about the white jews? Well they were converts from Uzbekhistan, claiming the land in 1100. Then there is the Azkhanazi who converted for political reasons. I myself have some Native American in me, they also say they were tribes of Jacob. Sounds a bit far fetched but then interestingly they already believed in God before the whites arrived.

A historical channel with captivating content which beautifully educates and enlightens. Which showcases rich cultural Afro histories that ignite curiosity and foster appreciation for our diverse world.
In order to create a pattern of the truth, we must articulate these findings and others. We have been robbed, displaced, and dehumanize by a system of organized hypocrisy, hypothesis, and miseducation and information. The truth starts with becoming academically and historically aware and informed of all things true! The British Museum house so many critical and creative works of powerful African Civilization throughout Africa and the world.
The British might refer to these people as being 'from the Gold Coast' but it's far more likely that they were seized by coastal tribes from area's further inland
No, the name of coromantees were well recorded and were all Akan and Ga names. The cultural influence of the Akans and Ga people can still be easily traced throughout English and Dutch speaking Caribbean.
Given Kromantie location in central region and being by coast, they most certainly were primarily Fante! it’s possible some small element of GA and other Akans as well if captured as slaves. the narrative as Ashanti is questionable given that in that period, they were the conquering/expanding tribe rather enslaving other groups. another interesting fact from Jamaican maroon history is an important figure named Tackie. that name is only found amongst GA tribe in Ghana as Tackie or Fante’s as Takyi. appreciate the video
Tackey was said to be a Fante prince who became a prisoner of war and sold off to the British. But yeah Tackey is a Ga name so it’s either he had some Ga lineage since the Ga royals used to marry into neighbouring Kingdoms Or his name Takyi was mispronounced and became Tackey when he got to the new world.
The Fante were allies or supposedly under the British protectorate. The Ashanti actually fought wars against the British. Seeing Jamaica was a British colony. It makes sense that Ashanti and other Akans not under the British protectorate would be the one's enslaved.
@@KO..... no question all Ghanaian tribes would have been impacted by slave trade. the question posed is only to highlight an argument i’ve heard from Fante’s, that have expressed issue with Kromantee’s being labeled Asante’s. Remember the anglo-asante wars take place during 1820s thru 1900. the Kromantee in Queen Nanny and Tackie, were already in Jamaica in the 1700s. so we would not have witnessed an influx of Asante’s amongst the enslaved in their time, but for certain other Akans impacted by their expansion period would have been.
They where mostly akan. The GA people originated from nigeria (yoruba) brought in to help fight the (Asante) Ashanties but ended up staying. Also the Jamaican flag has the same colors as the (Asante) Ashanti flag. its really fascinating.
Bull,, black propaganda bull. As in India , British indifference at home. As drain on resource. Caused the royal ruler to rethink on colonization. In better part British soldiers defeated many African nations armed force to surrender . Even the mighty Zulu people. Did not defeat the British soldier. This bull of supper Africans strength is poofing. As I see it, lie.
How long did it take and at what cost? Look up the Anglo- Ashanti wars for example. The British had to import thousands of east Indians to defeat the Zulus, along with the lasted gun technologies. African was to first continent to be attacked by the European - Arab alliance, and the last to be fall with the Benin Expedition in 1897.
The British empire had to use guns, bullets, cannons and start fires to burn down villages, towns, cities and empires. They didn't turn up with fists and swords. They came well weaponized.
@@craigr6842 bull , How long did Britain maintain parts of Africa? Again Only due to decline at the home front , attitudes changing about colonization. When stretch a resource line it weakness the soldiers ability to maintain rule. Again as many cases show. Thin lines, out numbered by enemy. Win small battles . But major conflict with African tribes Due to British soldiers equipment. Won. No african drove out the British.
@robertpundsack1363 Africa is a continent, not a country. Each kingdom had different strengths. This is true even for Europe....Don't forget that the Haitians defeated three European military powers to gain their independence.
Sometimes I think of a alternate world, globe, planet, earth, universe, galaxy, solar system, dimension, star, sun, moon, meteorite, ozone, or asteroid that the Niger Congo People's both the As And Bs were the dominant people from medieval to pre modern, to modern, to post modern times or at least were up there technologically if behind anybody only behind East Asians And West Europeans yeah.
@@mysticmajin3769Even if Ancient Egypt was Black it was not The Niger Congo As Nor Niger Congo Bs also known as Bantus it was most likely by Cushitic, Omotic, Sudanic, Or Nilotic Black's there before the arrival of Western Eurasians yeah.
@@mysticmajin3769North Africans are not black, blacks have intermixed with them but on very small numbers. I don't think you realize how huge africa is or the Saharan dessert is. You should also look into the amazing kingdoms of Subsaharan Africa. The Edo empire of Benin had plate armor and was just as advanced as their Asian and European contemporaries of the 1600s. Note they Ghana empire of the 1100 is IMO the most impressive black nation, being at their height they controlled 50% of global salt production. Economically during the 1100 they were the strongest economy in the world.
I don't think SubSaharan Africans were not contemporary to European or Asians. I find it is just people tend to view Africans as lesser because Africans couldn't use the same technologies due to geography. The fact remains Africans were able to create vast empires in the most inhospitably environments. I mean it's not like we didn't see Asians and Europeans completely fail to even breech the interior of Africa for centuries due to the geographic conditions and diseases. If anything people should be impressed Africans could even create nations at all in those crazy conditions.
@@matthewmann8969 that didn't really change the fact it was a black african kingdom because nigero congos are not the only people we would calls as "black"
Lol no one cares what you think , its funnier that yts who have always historically been the insecure ones are the people to make such laughable statements.
@@jthompson4105Not really it has more to do with the various Europeans warring with each other. For example the USA would've never existed if not for the French pretty much attacking the British, they same could be said for Haiti due to French and Spanish quarrels.
@@tylerrobbins8311 Not really what? You think people just sat back and took whatever was dished out to them? Some people fought back. I could careless why British dominion fell, there are probably many reasons. Yeah just as the Haitian revolution, beating Napoleon succeeded in helping USA Louisiana purchase AND same time foiled French's attempt at an empire in the Western Hemisphere.
@@jthompson4105 His point was Europeans fighting with eachother allowed that to happen. If the French had their undivided attention on Haiti there was no chance the war could have been won. By the way the French already did have an empire in the western hemisphere Haiti didn't stop that. Also the Louisiana purchase happened because of the Napoleonic wars not Haiti.
@@blackrse3368 "recorded history"? The maroons were recorded history. "Physically strong" Africans who stopped "total British Domination" is a pathetically reaching reinterpretation to racially save face (because everything's racial tribalism to yall), because yall are still so hung up on slavery and colonialism (it comes off as embarrassingly insecure). They didnt "stop" anything LMAO, slavery endured until the British ended it themselves. The Maroons returned escaped slaves to the British. This aint the history u think it is.
