History
The Ghana Empire started to rule around 300 AD. Around 1050 AD the Empire
of Ghana began to come under pressure from the muslims from the North to
convert to Islam. The kings of Ghana did not want to convert and soon came
under constant attacks from Northern Africa. While all this was happening a
group of people called the Susu broke free from Ghana. This weakened Ghana
and over the next few hundred years Ghana became weak until they became
Ghana, if you were to steal anything too could be made into a slave or you
would be killed. This meant that women could travel with a lot of jewelry and
not worry about being robbed The emperor would ride in the streets and
were solved.
