I am a Black American. I love learning about Africa. And all the culture that I missed out on. I always say being Black American, is like being the child. Of a mother who died giving birth to you. And then being raised by a father who hates you. It’s truly sad. My deepest wish is to touch African soil at least once in my life.

I actually had a very good history teacher at a community college. He was invested in teaching us a lot of native American history and their relationships and conflicts with the American government and the prejudice held against them. I enjoyed it very much and was grateful for such a different view. I think with so many resources on the internet and KZbin it isn't hard to now educate one's self in an area they are interested or passionate about. I don't really plan on having kids, but if I did I would definitely encourage and aid them in finding richer history outside the "normal" curriculum.

Do you also know queen nanny of the Maroons is actually from the Akan lineage(rumored to be either Ashanti or Fanti) so Yaa Asantewaa in turn might be a distant cousin to queen nanny because we know all royals get with each other to keep the wealth in the family and it was a thing to marry your cousin back then but only from your father's side since we are a matrilineal society

Now, this is an awesome video! It's great to see the Asante Kingdom getting more attention, It should be at least as well known as the Zulu, if not more. The parts about matrilinear inheritance and the role of the queen mothers were particularly interesting.

In Focus: *Yaa Asantewaa I* *Yaa Asantewaa I* was born in 1840 in Besease in the Ashanti Region. Her brother, *Afrane Panin*, became the Chief of Edweso, a nearby community. After a childhood without incident, she cultivated crops on the land around *Boankra.* She entered a polygamous marriage with a man from Kumasi, with whom she had a daughter. During her brother's reign, *Yaa Asantewaa I* saw the Asante Confederacy go through a series of events that threatened its future, including a civil war from 1883 to 1888. When her brother died in 1894, *Yaa Asantewaa I* used her right as Queen Mother to nominate her own grandson as Ejisuhene. When the British exiled her grandson to the *Republic Seychelles* in 1896, along with the King of Asante *Prempeh I* (Prince Kwaku Dua III) and other members of the Asante government, *Yaa Asantewaa I* became regent of the Ejisu-Juaben district. After the exile of *Prempeh I,* the British governor-general of the Gold Coast, *Frederick Hodgson,* demanded the *Golden Stool,* the symbol of the Asante Nation. This request led to a secret meeting of the remaining members of the Asante government at Kumasi, to discuss how to secure the return of their *King.* There was a disagreement among those present on how to go about this. *Yaa Asantewaa I*, who was present at this meeting, stood and addressed the members of the council with these words: "How can a proud and brave people like the Asante sit back and look while white men took away their King and Chiefs, and humiliated them with a demand for the Golden Stool. The Golden Stool only means money to the whitemen; they have searched and dug everywhere for it. I shall not pay one predwan to the governor. If you, the chiefs of Asante, are going to behave like cowards and not fight, you should exchange your loincloths for my undergarments *(Montu mo danta mma me na monnye me tam).* To dramatize her determination to go to war she seized a gun and fired a shot in front of the men. *Yaa Asantewaa I* was chosen by a number of regional Asante Chiefs to be the war-leader of the Asante fighting force. This is the *first and only example for a woman* to be given that role in Asante history. The Ashanti-British *War of the Golden Stool* also known as the Asante Uprising, the Third Asante Expedition, the *"Yaa Asantewaa War"* was led by Queen Mother Nana Yaa Asantewaa with an army of *5,000.* Beginning in March 1900, the Rebellion laid siege to the *fort* at Kumasi where the British had sought refuge. The fort still stands today as the *Kumasi Fort and Military Museum*. After several months, the Gold Coast governor eventually sent a force of *1,400* to quell the rebellion. During the fighting, Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I and fifteen of her closest advisers* were captured, and they, too, were sent into exile to the Republic of Seychelles. The rebellion represented the *final war in the Anglo-Asante series of wars* that lasted throughout the 19th century. On *1 January 1902* the British finally annexed the territory that the *Asante Empire* had been controlling for almost a century, and the Asante was transformed a protectorate of the *British crown.* Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I* died in exile in the Seychelles on *17 October 1921* at the age of 81. Three years after her death, on 17 December 1924, Asantehene *Prempeh I and the other remaining members of the exiled Asante court* were allowed to return to Asante. King *Prempeh I* made sure that the remains of Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I and the other exiled Asantes* were returned for a proper royal burial. Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I* remains a much-loved figure in Asante history and the history of Ghana as a whole for her role in confronting the *colonialism of the British.* She understood the ramifications of *British colonial rule.* She is seen by Ghanaians today as a *queen mother* who exercised her political and social clout to help defend her kingdom. Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I* is immortalized in song as follows: "Koo koo hin koo eei Yaa Asantewa! Ɔbaa basia Ɔgyina apremo ano ee! W'ayɛ be egyae o Na W'abɔ mmɔden ("Yaa Asantewaa, The woman who fights before cannons You have accomplished great things You have done well") To highlight the importance of encouraging more female leaders in Ghanaian society, the *Yaa Asantewaa Girls' Secondary School* was established at Kumasi in 1960 with funds from the *Ghana Education Trust*. In the year 2000, a week-long *Centenary Celebration* was held in Ghana to acknowledge *Yaa Asantewaa's accomplishments*. As part of these celebrations, a *museum* was dedicated to her at Kwaso in the Edweso-Juaben District on 3 August 2000. Unfortunately, a fire on 23 July 2004 destroyed several historical items, including *her sandals and battle dress* (batakarikese). *Yaa Asantewaa Festival* is an annual festival celebrated by the *Chiefs and Peoples of Ejisu Traditional Area* in the Ashanti Region. It is usually celebrated in the month of *August.* Another important Yaa Asantewaa Festival was founded by the *Royal House of Queen Mother Saa Pogh Naa Yaa Asantewaa Ababio II*, to remember the 95th Year of the Home Calling of Queen *Yaa Asantewaa I*, and to honor Her unforgettable heroism and extraordinary bravery, that she exhibited during the War of the Golden Stool, aka the *Yaa Asantewaa War.* The 9 day Festival also paid respects to Queen Mother *Yaa Akyaa,* Mother of King Prempeh I and all of the other Kings and Chiefs who were exiled to Seychelles by the British in the early 1900s. These included *Abdullah Muhammad Shah II* the Sultan of Perak (hereditary State of Malaysia), King *Mwanga II* of Buganda (a Bantu Kingdom within Uganda) and King *Chwa II Kabalega* of Bunyoro (a Bantu Kingdom in Western Uganda). Other notable political exiles were Makarios III the first president of Cyprus and *Saad Zaghloul,* 17th Prime Minister of Egypt. The *Yaa Asantewaa Centre* in Maida Vale, west London, is an African-Caribbean arts and community centre. It took its name in 1986.

I love this so much! As someone who loves studying History throughout the world, I get all happy upon coming across African History videos that sheds light in African nobility and royals without totally trashing Europeans... no emotions, only facts. Could you please do a video on Mansa Musa. He is always over looked in many History classes, including Economic classes, which is dishonest and discouraging, because he is actually one of the richest men of medieval times. He was after all the first true billionaire of the world and some economists agree that billionaire is a low number to throw at him (some say his true net worth is in the trillions). I get mad when Rockefeller gets mentioned as such since Mansa Musa was the true first billionaire since 1300s. At a time when European and Asian nations were fighting against the plague.

I love that people in Central and South America, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia wore and had gold like it was just another piece of clothing before colonization.
