The Fante Confederacy Union of Fante States%DIFDELCMD < ] %%% were the most dominant coastal group and controlled all trade between Europeans and the interior. The Asante Kongdom was ruled from 1701 to 1957 by the Oyoko Clan. The main source of wealth in the Akan economy was gold, but during the conflicts between Fante and Ashanti , many war captives were sold as prisoners and then into slavery by both sides. Both the Fante and Asante are Akan and related as they both primarily were the descendants of the founder of the Bona kingdom in the Ivory Coast and Ghana . A group of the Fante were said to have migrated to the south of Etsi by the beginning of the 12th century. The Fante are related to the Ashantis as both groups originated from the Bono Kingdom. Fante Confederacy were a very complex connection and cluster of several independent states that were the dominant power based  chiefly on the coastal regions of the Gold Coast. Group interaction between the Ashanti and Fante had long existed, since historically, the Fante were thought of as a breakaway group of the initial Akan clan. However, by the beginning of the nineteenth century, this group action had escalated to hostility because they Fante had grown wealthy by controlling trade between Europeans and the interior. The Ashanti wanted direct to trade with Europeans. Overtime, the British were the standard European allies of the Fante, whereas the Dutch sided with the Ashanti. Due to this alliance with the British, several historic Fante Asafo Companies (War Units) had the Union Jack as part of their Frankaa (Regimental battle flags). These flags became prized collection items for many Europeans  . The war began in 1806 when the Ashanti king, or Asantehene, brought charges of grave robbing on some of his subjects who run from Kumasi to Assin. Fleeing Ashanti lands, these suspected grave robbers were granted refuge by the Fante. Ashanti king Osei Bonsu sent out an army against the Fante for harboring fugitives. At Abura Dunkwa, a major battle was fought, during which the Ashanti were initially victorious and captured the accused Assin Chief . After the capture , the Ashanti commander, Appia  , sent his men further inward to Fante territory where they met the rear guard and support army of the Fante Forces commanded by Atta that had previously broken away from the other Fante armies at Mumford. The combined Fante Union Army now under Atta's command rendezvoused at Tantumkweri where they defeated the Ashanti after a long day of fighting. This war, also known as the Ghana War, begins between the Ashanti and Fante Confederacy of present–day Ghana. The Ashanti had resisted makes an attempt by Europeans, chiefly the British, to subjugate them, and aligned themselves with the Dutch to limit British influence within the region. However, the UK still annexed neighboring areas, together with the Fante, and also the succeeding conflicts eventually increase into the war of 1806. In 1811 the Ga–Fante War sees the defeat of the Ashanti, though they still capture a British fort. In 1814 the Ashanti launch an invasion of the coast leading to a series of battles that culminated in the Anglo Ashanti Wars . The Bond of 1844, a peace pact between Britain and the FanteConfederacy is signed. The Bond allied the Fante and the British in response to the Ashanti and Dutch signing a pact. This bond also stipulated and formally stated that Mfantseman will never be ceded to Europeans similar to what had happened in South Africa and Later Rhodesia.
