Review of The Woman King (2022) by Darkesthour — 24 Sep 2022

I read the reviews and saw the mention of this tribe's history which I thought might be part of a review bomb. So I decided to look this tribe up on Wikipedia; this is what I found: The growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves.

[2] As a highly militaristic kingdom constantly organised for warfare, it captured children, women, and men during wars and raids against neighboring societies, and sold them into the Atlantic slave trade in exchange for European goods such as rifles, gunpowder, fabrics, cowrie shells, tobacco, pipes, and alcohol.

[5][6] I don't expect perfect history from Hollywood, bit we don't need to like slavers either.
