The kingdom of Ghana had many resources like gold and water and
they gained salt from trading with other empires. As long as all the
citizens worked together, they lived a good, rich life. “The earliest of the
west African states to develop was Ghana.” During the time that Ghana
reigned, it developed greatly with kings and rulers such as Tunka Manin
(library.thinkquest.org, October 11, 2011). The leader of all the leaders
was called the Ghana. He was the most important person in the
civilization because whatever he says goes. Also, he controlled the cities’
trade activities and he was the commander and chief of a highly
organized army. Whenever there was a conflict in the community, he
served as the judge in the court. He would hear both sides of the story
and give his judgment about the case. Unless it involved denying a debt
or shedding blood, the consequences were reportedly peaceful.
