Yaa Asantewaa and the Golden Stool.Prt 2 (new 30min documentary)

[kwabenaamoahDC]

My great grandfather was one of the 5000Asante men who went to war with Yaa Asantewaa against the British in this conflict. He was from Sewia. My great grandmother was pregnant with my grandfather at the time. My great grandfather perished in this war. As a result my grandfather never knew his father. It's a source of pride and sadness. My grandfather was Adomako Mensah, a prominent goldsmith who made some magnificent jewelry for the Asante and Denkyira royals. I miss Ghana.

[Awahyaase]

Time will Tell!! The real history will reveal itself one day!!

[Awahyaase]

slave dealers!

[akua1969]

The Ashanti were indeed dealers in slaves as means to prevent their own people from becoming enslaved.

was this a good thing? no.

and the Ashanti and Ghana goverments have apologised, celebrate emacipation and contact ceremonies for returning people of the diaspora.

what have thoes who really benefited from slavery done.

there are still many women and children all over the world sold into slavery. we should all be doing something about it

[Awahyaase]

I am not quite sure they were doing it to prevent themselves from being enslaved. I think there is much more to it than you say. Anyway, I have not forgotten nor forgiven anyone for slavery, Ashante nor European.I just find it strange that you guys were collaborators with the Europeans, then when they turned their backs and fooled you, you suddenly are suppose to be so proud and rebellious.

[Bergacquah]

@Awahyaase and where did you read that they collaborated with the Europeans?

[Awahyaase]

They should try apoligizing to the millions of dead bodies now buried in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which they helped place there!!!

[Bergacquah]

@Awahyaase Please stop wasting your time wrong info.

[Bergacquah]

@Awahyaase They're not apologizing because they've no responsible for it.

[Bergacquah]

@akua1969 honestly where have've u been getting your information? Ashantis were slave dealers? It seems our history is been changed as well as others around the world.
