"Schopf's Quarter's Report on the Slave-Colony Question"
Description
The Apenkwa people estimate the number of 'Donkos' living in the villages and hamlets on the Accra Plains as about 1000, and Schopf himself estimates the numbers of such people in Accra at 2-3000. Schopf puts Apenkwa forward as the location of the slave home - or some such place. The Apenkwa people themselves are enthusiastic - they would keep watch for slaves coming into Accra with loads in order to tell them about offers a number of other fairly obvious reasons why this would be a better area than on the boundary of the Protected Territories. He is also keen to get the people of Apenkwa more land to free them from having to observe King Taki's two fetish days.
