link between Confucianism and west africa.

Confucianism taught people to be educated and to educate the people around them. Allot of the rulers that ruled china also believed in Confucianism.this also led to government officials having to take a test and pass to become a government official.For west Africa they had kinship's but when it became an empire it converted to Islam. Islam also in a sense educated people. It gave the Africans a written language to use to copy down history. Islam was also used in government too because most kings in Africa converted to Islam.
