Ashanti was one of the few African states able to offer serious resistance to the European invaders. Britain fought four wars against the Ashanti kings between 1826 and 1896 (the Anglo-Ashanti Wars), one of which was notable as the first conflict in which the Maxim gun was used. In 1900, the British finally subdued the kingdom and named it the Gold Coast colony. A much-loved figure in Asante history is Yaa Asantewaa, a leader of the resistance against British colonialism in 1896.

A few points of clarification.\n\nFirst an etiquette suggestion. People from Africa don’t “have hair different from ours”. You should realise that people from Africa are ‘allowed’ to use the internet too. Whatever hair type you have, you need to realise that it isn’t shared by everyone else reading.\n\n\nSecondly you need to realise that people of African decent don’t have any common hair type at all. People of African descent have straight blond hair, wavy brown hair, curly black hair and every other possible combination. In short people in Africa don’t have hair “have hair different from ours” It becomes a real problem when people speak of ‘Africa’ as though it’s some sort of united whole. People in Africa include:\n\nTypical white-skinned people of Egypt or Libya who regularly have blue eyes and blond hair.\n\nAsian Malay people of Madagascar who have the typically ‘Asian” brown skin, epicanthic fold and straight black hair.\n\nGolden-brown skinned San and Hottentot people of southern Africa who normally have an epicanthic fold and very tightly curled hair of extremely determinate growth.\n\nAnd of course all those groups blend with one another seamlessly. As a result there is simply no basis in saying that there is any typical African hair type.\n\nBeyond that I’m not quite sure what you are asking. \n\nDo you want to know why people of African descent have evolved to have that hair type?\n\nOr do you want to know what makes hair grow in that fashion? \n\nThe first question entails a very complicated answer. The first I assume you are asking why many  African Americans, who are mostly of West African Negro descent, have a common curly hair type. But even that is somewhat misleading because people who have lived in northern Europe for millennia also have the same hair type occasionally, it’s just rarer there.\n\nAs for why that hair type, the answer probably lies in our ancestry. Humans evolved in Africa and spread out from there to cover the rest of the world. The first humans are assumed to have had hair similar to the modern San and Hottentot groups. That is tightly curled coarse hair, but hair of determinate growth. In some ways San hair is more like pubic hair or many types of beard in that it grows for relatively short periods of time before it falls out. As a result the hair always stays short. That make sit very easy to manage. For our first human ancestors that was probably advantageous since it reduced the opportunity for parasites like lice to take hold and made it very easy to manage since it never requires cutting.\n\nLater humans, still confined to Africa, developed head hair of the same basic tightly curled type, but of indeterminate growth. What that means is that it will keep growing for months or years before it falls out. As a result the hair needs to be trimmed or it will grow into an ‘Afro’ or dreadlocks. Exactly why this change from short to long hair occurs is a mystery, but it was probably simply because people find long hair sexually attractive. \n\nAfter a few people moved out of sub-Saharan Africa a hair type developed which was less tightly curled leading to wavy or even straight hair. Once again there is no sensible reason why this occurred, though it has been speculated that the fact that straight hair becomes greasy may have aided in cold tolerance or may have assisted in parasite control in climates where the head was covered with clothing.\n\nSo in short African Americans commonly retain the ‘second’ type of human hair, being long and tightly curled. Many other people have a third hair type that \n\nAs for why African-American hair grows in that manner, it’s largely genetic. Hair is produced from hair follicles, which almost ‘squeeze’ the hair out of a hole in the skin like tooth paste being squeezed out of a tube. In people with straight hair the hole is round and so the hair is round. People with curly hair have flattened holes and the hair i

http://www.pathsofdevotion.com/african.html\n\nThis is my website, far from complete, but I actually do have a little article about West African Traditions.  Most of all though, see the link where I linked to another person's website.  They have a lot of good stuff on there!

1. I presume that you do really mean African imperialism, which includes such empires as the Ashanti Empire, the Dahomey Empire, Great Zimbabwe etc. \n\n2. In which case, these are some of the "bad things":\na) slave labour of captured prisoners-of-war;\nb) punitive taxation of conquered tribes;\nc) forcing attractive women to be concubines;\nd) ruthless suppression of dissent.\n\n3. If you had meant European imperialism in Africa, then your question was very poorly drafted.

Being on time (i.e. being dependable and reliable).\n\nBeing able to pitch in when there's extra work to be done.\n\nChecking their work to ensure that things are done right.\n\nNot just doing what they're taught but figuring out ways to do the job better.\n\nBeing able to get along with their co-workers.\n\nThere are a lot of qualities to perfection, but the ones listed above are the ones I look for when I want to promote someone.

Ghana who have had exceptional world -class players like Abedi Pele of Marseille,Anthony Yeboah of Leeds United and Eintracht Frankfurt fame but failed to qualify for the World Cup.\nThis time though Fernebahce's stephen Appiah who has great influence on the team will partner with Chelsea's Michael Essien to make the African imprint on the world.\nI know that many will praying against that day butmany more will be seeing it happen live.
