1700 To 1800

The story of 1700 to 1800,
And of the slaves taken away from West Africa;
But the plantations of the Americans have a lot to say.
A message to the Ashanti Kingdom and the Ashanti king,
Anf of the history gone by;
But we still have the Europeans in mind to think about the slavery days.
Timber, groundnut, cotton, cocoa and coffee;
And of the strong en and women sold out of Africa!
But one day the palm oil will satisy us all.
