1840 CE to 1851 CE

Additional coastal states as well as other states farther inland eventually sign the Bond, and British influence is accepted, strengthened, and expanded.

Under the terms of the 1844 arrangement, the British give the impression that they will protect the coastal areas; thus, an informal protectorate comes into being.

As responsibilities for defending local allies and managing the affairs of the coastal protectorate increased, the administration of the Gold Coast is separated from that of Sierra Leone in 1850.
