The Gold Coast

The Asante Empire Gold Coast The powerful Asante people (Ashanti) dominated the area known as the Gold Coast (modern day Ghana). trade in gold with Europeans They had built up a trade in gold with Europeans but by the 1770s they traded in slaves. enslave people that broke laws prisoners of war The Asante would enslave people that broke laws, after 1790 they fought wars to defend/expand their empire and prisoners of war were sold to Europeans.

Useful facts Death & Population depletion It is estimated around 12m people were taken from Africa to the Americas as slaves It is estimated around 6m more died on the journey or on their way to the coast to get on the slave ship Many died waiting for the slave ships to take them as they were kept near rivers like the Congo river, where killer disease like Malaria was common

Useful facts contd. Death & Population depletion Experts think Africa’s population would be double what it is now had it not been for the slave trade Most taken as slaves were young people; this left fewer people to grow food and famine (hunger) became common

Useful facts contd. Development Lots of land was left uncultivated because there was not enough free people left to grow crops There are still huge areas of barren land in Ghana and Nigeria which stem from the slave trade

Useful facts contd. War The slave trade encouraged war between tribes The demand for more and more slaves led to increased violence and hatred between African communities Some still exist today

Useful facts last page! Racism People who supported the slave trade (usually those who made money from it) used propaganda to encourage the belief that Africans were inferior people Some of those ideas lasted many years
