GREETINGS FROM ANOMABO 🇬🇭

Brief History:
Anomabo is fishing town in the Central Region of Ghana. Originally known as Annamaboe or Obonoma, the town eventually became one of the most important trading ports on the Gold Coast.

The town derived its name from a big rock in the sea which used to be flocked with white birds. It was discovered by a hunter on an expedition.

Originally, the name of the town was 'Obonoma', which means ‘Rock of Birds' when translated into the English language. However, the name has been corrupted to Anomabo, due to frequent changes in pronunciation.

By the 18th century, the town had become one of the largest exporters of slaves on the West Coast of Africa. The Anomabo fort (Fort Willam) became the center of British slave trading along the Gold Coast until the practice was outlawed in 1807. The fort was built in 1753 by the British after they thwarted a French attempt to establish a fort at the same place. Two earlier forts had been established at the same site, one in 1640 by the Dutch, another in 1674 (Fort Charles) by the English. Fort Charles was abandoned in 1730 and destroyed.

From 1850 - 1860, Harriet Tubman led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom on secret routes known as the Underground Railroad. She guided them from the plantations of the south to the free states in the North.

When the Fugitive Slave Law was passed in the United States it meant escaped slaves could be captured and returned to the plantations in the South. This is what led Harriet Tubman to instead take the freed slaves to Canada, where slavery was already prohibited. Once they crossed the border they were free and didn't worry about being captured and taken to the south.

She gained the nickname, 'Moses' because of what she was doing to free her people.
