Some of the info in the page[edit]

Some of the info it's a bit wrong. For starters, the Fante Confederacy was created in the LATE 19th century, after the Asante victory in the 2nd Anglo Asante war, which led to the British stating that they would wouldn't protect the Fante in another war with the Asante. They would backtrack on this though.

Then stating that each Fante state was led by a Paramount chief. In most cases of what Ive read from accounts at the time, it was the title of Brafo used. Whilst technically true what the Wikipage says, I'm just putting it in there.

The stating that the Fante managed to expel the Dutch from Elmina misses the whole picture and is also wrong. 1. The Dutch wanted to trade the forts with the British as Elmina had become unprofitable. They werent even there 2. The Elminian Fantes didn't want to join the Fante Confederacy, and so whom the Fante really defeated was them and 3. The Asante who who went south to protect what they felt was theirs. It should be interesting to note how did the Asante get that far south against the Fante if they were able to overrun Elmina? That's cause 4. The person writing this missed that just to do this, the British had to FLATTEN Elmina first, which is stated as the main reason how the Fantes captured Elmina.
