How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved by 1873 and Fanteland was fully, 1873. Read from the article's section “History - Collapse and British annexation” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
Without support from either Britain or the merchant elite, the confederation collapsed by 1873 and Fanteland was fully incorporated into the British Gold Coast colony.

| Robert Jones Ghartey | 1868 – 1871 | 3 years | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1868 – 1871. Only 3 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
