@gold_coast_world: The Danes were the next nation to endeavour to obtain a share in the profitable business of exporting negroes to the New World. In 1657 they drove the Swedes out of Christiansborg, and shortly after built a small fortified factory on the summit of a hill about a quarter of a mile to the east of Cape Coast Castle, at a village called Mamfro, or Omanfo ; * but they do not appear to have engrossed much of the trade, and the great rivalry was between the Dutch and the English.
