  ARE THESE PAST ACRIMONIOUS HISTORY NECESSARY AND WORTH REVISITING? THEN HE SHOULD’VE ALSO NARRATED THE “MAGYA OTU MONTO MBOM” STORY
  
  Why did he left out the time that all the Fanti soldiers were held up in one prison, and .one single barrel gun was placed as a guard so that any Fante soldier who even goes out urinate had to ask permission from the gun— Ma gya Otu Monto Mbom. Mer Kosonkye Maaba— to wit My Master Mr Gun Don’t shoot me I’m not fleeing I’m just going to urinate and come back!

  The Portuguese, Swedes, Danes and British who came here wrote down everything dito dito so google to know about the Sagrenti War. Fantis and most tribes along the coast were slave traders. Most of the big names were Slave Merchants. You don’t need to be an Ashanti to respect these Warriors kept fighting the colonists. It’s envy that would let a Fanti come up with this nonsense about Kate Dawson Koominiini. Her name even tells it all. The Sagrenti War was a big deal for the British and was planned after they had been humiliated by the Ashantis. Sir Wolseley was given £25,000 with titles and decoration for redeeming the image of Imperial Britain. Who said Kate Dawson did what? Where was she when Britain put an international army drawn from Northern Nigeria, India.the Caribbean and other West African colonies to fight Ashanti? Only fools who don’t read will believe this Fanti bullshit story.

  History without proper sources isn't History but emotions. Sargent war is well documented in the international front for you to lie about it. These lies won't wash in academic research or any university.

  This is a 'cock and bull story' that differs from every recognised historical account of the Segranti War of 1874, including that of the British. This was the third Anglo-Ashanti War and arose out of a series of events which culminated in the British deciding to end Ashanti power and dominance one and for all. Even according to British accounts, Major General Sir Garnet Wolsley was transfered from Ethiopia (having previously served in India) to Cape Coast for this assignment. The BRitish aslo engaged troops from Nigeria (mainly Hausas) and Sierra Leone to persue a political agender they took very seriously. It was about a group a rich women from Cape Coast, bribing the British Imperial Army to invade Ashanti on their behalf. I am not an Ashanti, but such stories do not help in developing the intellect of our youth. If the British were so badly in need of Gold, they had the power at the time to take it by force from any of the territories on the West Coast of Africa and else where. Or were these women, by any stretch of imagination, richer than the British Crown at the time?

  Sargrenti war was triggered by the change of ownership of the Elmina Castle by British and the Dutch in 1872.
  There were 3 Sumatra treaties signed between the British and the Dutch from 1870 to 1871 in Holland.
  One of the Treaties was the Anlo-Dutch Gold Coast treaty,signed in The Hague,Netherlands on the 25th Feb.1871.
  It was a convention between Great Britain and the Netherlands,for the transfer to Great Britain of the Dutch Possessions on the Coast of Guinea.
  The British took over the Elmina Castle on the 6th April 1872 without the consent of the Elmina people.
  According to history,it took a year for the Treaty to be effective.
  The Asantes were against the Treaty,they sent a delegation to meet King Wilhem the 3rd in The Hague for the Dutch to remain in the Gold Coast.
  King Wilhem had already signed the treaty with Queen Victoria of England.
  The British exchanged Indonesia for Gold Coast and paid huge sum of money including adding some Indian workers to the Dutch colony in Surinam.
  The British anticipated the Asantes attacks on the castle.
  The Asantes believed that the Elmina Castle and it's township belong to them because they defeated Denkyira who was overlording vast coastal lands.
  The British were ready to protect their interest so they planned to invade Kumasi to stop Nana Kofi Karikari and his soldiers from invading the coast.
  That's why they took the whole year of 1873 to prepare for the Sargrenti war and they succeeded.
  The Asantes were also prepared and even started the attacks in Komenda and Elmina but were defeated quickly.Tnx.

  It can't be true that the British fought the Asantes because of goodwill.
  All the Europeans had expansionism policy by the time and the Monarchs would do anything to expand their influence across the world.
  This is what brought about colonialism and capitalism.
  The Asantes were also practicing expansionism trying to influence other nations.
  If you look at what happened in America,the British tried to take over all the states colonised by other Europeans.
  In the Gold Coast,they bought all the properties and territories belonging to the Danes,Dutch,Germans etc.
  We must look at the military confrontation in its proper perspective.Tnx.

  Sargrenti War was as a result of Commercial interest for the British and the Dutch.
  Anybody who thinks that the British just woke up and invaded Kumasi is making a big mistake.
  The British wanted to build a great empire across the world just like the French,Spanish,Germans and the Portuguse.
  They all came to Africa struggling to occupy more space.
  The British took steps to buy properties from the Danes and the Dutch as they opted out of Africa.
  When the Dutch sold their properties in the Gold Coast to the British including the Elmina Castle,it didn't sit well with some chiefs in the Gold Coast.
  The Chief of Elmina,Nana Kobina Gyan tried to resist the British ownership but didn't succeed.He was arrested in sent to exile in Sierra Leone in 1873.
  Asantehene Kofi Karikari sent a delegation to The Hague in Netherlands for a review of the Anglo-Dutch Gold Coast Treaty but was not successful.
  Asantehene Kofi Karikari didn't stop there,he sent his top Diplomat,Nana Boakye Tenten to meet
  General Garnet Worseley for peace,trade and diplomatic agreement at Cape Coast in 1872.
  The British wanted to reach Northern Gold Coast where the French were about to gain influence and enter Ivory Coast.
  The Asantes were not aware of the British plan to cover a large territory in the Gold Coast.
  In geopolitics,the struggle was between the British and the French who have covered large portion of West Africa.
  The British war generals would not allow Kofi Karikari to stop them from advancing to the north.
  Fortunately for the British,the fall of Asante did automatically add the Northern Territory to their empire.Tnx.
