About this ebook
Historic 19th century government documents reveal how the Danish crown wrapped up its slave trade past by ceding its slave trade guns and military installations in the Gold Coast-Ghana to the British Crown. King Frederik VII of Denmark and Queen Victoria of England transacted a historic arms deal through their respective crown proxies, Count Reventlow and Viscount Palmerston. The condition of the deal was a sum of £10,000 *The economic power value of that income or wealth today is about £32,880,000.00. The British Monarch agreed to pay. In return, Denmark ceded to her Britannic Majesty all military inventory (guns, ammunition), barracks, store houses, with fixtures contained in the military installations comprising of Fort Christianborg *now the seat of the Ghanian government, Fort Augustaborg, Fort Fedensborg, Fort Kongeensteen and Fort Prindsensteen. All these items and properties had been used by Denmark in the trading of slaves. The historic documents also acknowledge that the traffic of slaves was still ongoing as late as 1849, long after the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
