Question
This kingdom gained its independence after winning a war they declared by sending a pot filled with stones and fingers of envoys. One ruler who rebelled against this kingdom escaped by crossing a river on a hippopotamus that appeared because they sacrificed their son. One ruler of this kingdom was killed while trying to cross the River Pra which led to his successors being banned from crossing it. This kingdom won the Battle of Feyiase (“fee-YAH-say”) over the (*) Denkyira (“den-CHEE-ruh”) kingdom. One object used by rulers of this kingdom descended from the sky onto the lap of Osei Tutu. Frederick Hodgson’s insistence to sit on that object triggered a war that resulted in its capital Kumasi becoming a part of the Gold Coast colony. For 10 points, name this African kingdom that lost the Golden Stool War. ■END■
