The slaughter of Abame gives the Umuofian's fear and reluctance to fight back against Europeans. Churches appear. Many men, even titled men join the white's society. Courtrooms, jails, and schools are built. The children are sent to schools in order that they may lead and not be left behind. The society thus promotes individualism over community. The villagers are divided between those on the European's side and those on the villages' side.
Umuofia was a single village of the 9 Igbo villages.
