There's a castle on the coast of Fanteland called the Cape Coast Castle. That is where they used to keep the slaves before they sent them away, to Aburokyire: America, Jamaica. Asante traders would bring in their captives. Fante, Ewa, or Ga middlemen would hold them, then sell them to the British or Dutch or whoever was paying the most at the time. Everyone was responsible. We all were... we all are.
