Kente is made in Akan lands such as Ashanti Kingdom, and by Akans in the Ivory Coast. It is the best known of all African textiles.

Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade 1650-1860CE Mesoamerican slaves died of disease Europeans needed a new source of slave labor African rulers would trade potential slaves for guns & other goods Millions of Africans were enslaved 20% died on route to the Americas
