About British West Africa Shillings

British West Africa occupied the region encompassed today by the coastal nations of Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia. The collective colony was first established in 1821. Between 1850 and 1866, the colony was dissolved and then reformed. A key influence in the colonization of the area was the abolitionist movement seeking to end the Atlantic slave trade.

In due course, British settlements began to appear. With those came British customs, influence, modernization, and the British education system. The cultures of the native peoples were largely ignored and pushed towards obsolescence. Gender and racial issues dominated the concerns of daily life, resulting in some deportations and banishments. British West Africa and the countries that eventually formed from it thus developed their own new cultures and identities.
