The title of the Gold Coast isn't just for show. To the local indigenous people, the gold here holds little value; a handful of gold dust is worth less than a full meal.
European colonizers used various methods to seize large amounts of gold dust and ore from the natives, refining these into gold and then transporting it back to Europe.
Of course, compared to grabbing ore, European colonizers preferred to seize gold mines directly.
This gradually resulted in fewer and fewer gold mines within local indigenous territories, and the gold dust and ore they could trade for food became increasingly scarce.
After the Spanish Army completed their assembly, they marched north along the riverbank in a grand procession. To avoid inciting rebellion across the entire Asante Federation, the Spanish Army's attacks would only target the Ashanti Tribe, with no intent to attack other tribes for the time being.
