Christianity in the Ghana Gold Coast began in the fifteenth century. The Europeans had brought the religion to the area when they came over.
Europeans came to Ghana, then known as the Gold Coast, primarily for economic reasons. They were seeking to exploit the region's abundant natural resources, particularly gold. Additionally, Europeans were interested in establishing trade routes and gaining access to the lucrative trans-Saharan trade network. The desire for power and control also played a significant role in driving European colonization in Ghana.
The europeans were so greedy that they wanted what the africans had. The gold,ivory, and slaves. The Africans were the most richest in gold, and europeans wanted that. The europeans wanted the gold so badly that they were envios and greedy.
