The Birth of the Gold Coast Colony 1902 After the War

After the War of the Golden Stool and the exile of Yaa Asantewaa and Prempeh I, what happened to the Ashanti Empire? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the little-told aftermath: the formal annexation of Ashanti into the Gold Coast Colony in 1902, the British policy of indirect rule, the appointment of Chief Commissioner Francis Fuller, the restoration of the Golden Stool as a symbol of unity, and how the Ashanti quietly preserved their identity under colonial rule. We discuss the 1924 return of Prempeh I from the Seychelles, his acceptance of the title Kumasihene rather than Asantehene, and his son Prempeh II's eventual restoration of the confederacy in 1935. The episode sheds light on a period of resilience and adaptation that paved the way for modern Ghana. #GoldCoast #AshantiEmpire #PrempehI #YaaAsantewaa #GoldenStool #ColonialHistory #IndirectRule #FrancisFuller #Kumasihene #SeychellesExile #1902Annexation #PrempehII #AshantiConfederacy #BritishColonialism #History #FexingoHistory #WestAfrica #GhanaHistory #KwameNkrumah #ElminaCastle Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
