The eight Fante chiefs who signed the Bond of 1844 with the British were: King of the Fante, Nana Kwaku Duah; Nana Akwasi Afrifa; Nana Kwesi Atta; Nana Amonoo; Nana Osei Kwame; Nana Kwaku Sarpong; Nana Abena Kwaku; and Nana Kwasi Badu. This agreement was aimed at fostering cooperation between the Fante people and the British, particularly in matters of trade and governance.
The Fante confederation came in as a result of misunderstanding between the Fante and British and the kings decided to come together and fight for their right.
The Fante Confederacy, established in the 19th century in what is now Ghana, ultimately failed due to internal divisions, lack of cohesive leadership, and external pressures from the British colonial authorities. Disagreements among member states over governance and trade policies weakened their unity. Additionally, the British sought to assert control over the region, leading to military confrontations that the Confederacy could not withstand. These factors combined resulted in the disintegration of the Confederacy by the late 1870s.

The Fante Flag is from the Fante people, an ethnic group in Ghana, West Africa. It is often associated with the Fante Confederacy, a historical alliance formed in the 19th century among various Fante states. The flag features colorful symbols and patterns that reflect the culture and heritage of the Fante people. It is commonly used in celebrations and cultural events to represent Fante identity.
In 1830 a London committee of merchants chose Captain George Maclean to become president of a local council of merchants. Although his formal jurisdiction was limited, Maclean's achievements were substantial; for example, a peace treaty was arranged with Asante in 1831. Maclean also supervised the coastal people by holding regular court in Cape Coast where he punished those found guilty of disturbing the peace. Between 1830 and 1843 while Maclean was in charge of affairs on the Gold Coast, no confrontations occurred with Asante, and the volume of trade reportedly increased threefold. Maclean's exercise of limited judicial power on the coast was so effective that a parliamentary committee recommended that the British government permanently administer its settlements and negotiate treaties with the coastal chiefs that would define Britain's relations with them. The government did so in 1843, the same year crown government was reinstated. Commander H. Worsley Hill was appointed first governor of the Gold Coast. Under Maclean's administration, several coastal tribes had submitted voluntarily to British protection. Hill proceeded to define the conditions and responsibilities of his jurisdiction over the protected areas. He negotiated a special treaty with a number of Fante and other local chiefs that became known as the Bond of 1844.
