Kente Cloth is the traditional garb of the Ashanti Empire (Ghana)

>>>But Kente cloth also reflects the history of the Ashanti people, from the emergence of the various Ashanti kingdoms to the development of the slave trade up to and including contemporary life in Ghana. - http://ultimatehistoryproject.com/kente-cloth-and-the-history-of-the-ashanti-people.html

Ashanti known for the slave trade

>>>As was true of many pre-modern societies in Africa, Asia and Europe, the Ashanti practiced slavery. When Europeans, specifically the Portuguese, came into contact with the Ashanti during the sixteenth century, both Europeans and the Ashanti traded gold, ivory, and slaves.
