Imagine you’re from one of the great West African empires: the Yoruba, whose intricate political systems rivaled those of European nations; the Asante, whose formidable military power was matched only by their control of the lucrative gold trade; or the Mandinka, who amassed vast wealth through their vital trade routes. But now, torn from your homeland, your people are slaves in America. Then, Britain offers you freedom if you fight with them. What would you decide? The free room and board is nice but then there are the beatings to consider... so, it’s either “Sunshine or Shackles?”
