Ghana became an independent state on March 6, 1957, when Britain relinquished its control over the Gold Coast and Ashanti, the Northern Territories Protectorate, and British Togoland. In 1957 Ghana became the first African country to gain independence.
The independence of Ghana, appeared to be a mirage, until the United Gold Coast Convention was birthed on August 4, 1947 at Saltpond; thankfully, its formation became the springboard towards our attainment of Statehood.
The independence of Ghana was not realized on a silver platter; as a matter of fact, it took years of struggle, pain, disappointment, betrayal, and even deaths before we were able to gain freedom from our colonial overlords—the British. The patriots, who sacrificed their energy, resources, and lives deserve commendation and must be celebrated.
<span>The correct answer is the astenosphere. It's part of the earth's crust that's just below the lithosphere and it's really susceptible to plastic flow because the resistance to it is very low. This is where scientists believe that convection occurs in the mantle. It's a very weak and easily deformed piece of the crust.</span>
