The Nigerian self-government crisis of 1953 and the colonial office
Because the Second World War and the loss of India increased the value of Africa for Britain, policy-makers did not envisage early self-government for sub-Saharan colonies, of which Nigeria was the most important. Sir John Macpherson (governor, 1948–54) set about reinforcing British administration which had been shaken by the unpopularity of the constitutional measures introduced by his predecessor and by the repercussions of riots in neighbourin…

Commerce and Economic Change in West Africa
A key theme in the West African trading system of the nineteenth century is the transition from the slave trade to 'legitimate' commerce, and its significance for the African societies of the region. In this period of transition, trade in palm oil was at the core of relations between Britain and West Africa, and of immense importance to the economies of large parts of West Africa. Martin Lynn's authoritative and comprehensive study of the palm oi…

The West African palm oil trade in the nineteenth century and the ‘crisis of adaptation’
The idea that parts of West Africa experienced a 'crisis of adaptation' in the nineteenth century with the transition from the slave trade to what was termed at the time 'lawful commerce', has been one of the most debated issues in West African historiography. This concept goes back a long way but in recent years it has been the writings of A. G. Hopkins that have most fully spelt out what it entailed. For Hopkins, the transition from slave-tradi…
From Slave Trade to 'Legitimate' Commerce
This edited collection, written by eleven leading specialists, examines the nineteenth-century commercial transition in West Africa: the ending of the Atlantic slave trade and the development of alternative forms of 'legitimate' trade, mainly in vegetable products. Approaching the subject from an African, rather than a European or American, perspective, the case studies consider the effects of transition on the African societies involved. They of…
Factionalism, imperialism and the making and breaking of Bonny kingship c. 1830-1885
This article examines the consequences of the factional strife that developed in Bonny in the 19th century. The Bonny state was deeply riven by the long established tension between canoë houses that in this period was given an added dimension by the growth of the palm oil trade. This factional struggle particularly affected the position of the Amanyanabo of Bonny during the reigns of William Dappa Pepple and his son George. Factional struggles le…

The Profitability of the Early Nineteenth-Century Palm Oil Trade
Their large capital in ships, goods and experience gave them monopoly of and profits, wrote Charles Livingstone, British Consul for Bight of Biafra, of British traders in early 19th century West African palm oil trade.' Livingstone's view of enormous of in years before establishment of steamship service in 1852 changed its structure echoed that of other observers, most notably that of representative of W.H. Fisher & Co. who wrote in 1860 of the c…
Technology, Trade and ‘A Race of Native Capitalists’
This article examines the impact of the introduction of the new technology of steam power into the West African trade in the second half of the nineteenth century. One of the changes that the introduction of steampower was expected to lead to was the opening up of the trade to small-scale African traders such as the Krios. Many Krios did make use of the steamships to extend their trading activities and entered areas previously ignored. Many used …

From Sail to Steam
In the late nineteenth century the West African palm oil trade entered a period of difficulties, characterized mainly by a fall in prices from the early 1860s. Part of the reason for this lay in the introduction of regular steamship services between Britain and West Africa from 1852. As steam came to replace sail so the palm oil trade underwent major changes. These changes can be quantified fairly precisely. One effect of the introduction of stea…

Change and Continuity in the British palm oil trade with West Africa, 1830–55
The utilization of a relatively unused source, the Customs Bills of Entry , enables the structure of the British side of the West African palm oil trade to be studied in detail. Three main developments emerged in the period from 1830 to 1855 when the introduction of regular steamer services radically altered the trade. Firstly, Liverpool's pre-eminence as the main British palm oil port began to be challenged by Bristol and London; secondly, Brita…

Commerce, Christianity and the Origins of the ‘Creoles’ of Fernando Po
During the early and middle years of the nineteenth century a Creole elite emerged on the island of Fernando Po. The origins of this lay in the fact that for the thirty years after 1827 the island was at the centre of European political and economic interests in the Gulf of Guinea. The short-lived British occupation of Fernando Po, 1827–34, established the town of Clarence and brought to the island a number of settlers, and in particular ‘liberat…
