In the 1900’s the
British queen Victoria resided in Ghana. She
conducted the slave trade and ruled in the name of the United Kingdom. One day
she ordered the capture of King Prempeh who was the last of the Ashanti Kings
and this stirred up Queen mother Yaa Asantewaa to mobilize her people to go and fight the
British soldiers. Yaa Asantewaa and her people knew that the soldiers had guns
and explosives but in the face of all that THEY STOOD FIRM AND FOUGHT because
they knew that they were entitled to their freedom.
