Editing Dahomey (section)

===Yoruba===
The [[Oyo Empire]] engaged in frequent conflicts with the Kingdom of Dahomey and Dahomey became a [[Tributary state|tributary]] of the Oyo from 1732 until 1823. The city-state of [[Porto-Novo]], under the protection of Oyo, and Dahomey had a long-standing rivalry largely over control of the slave trade along the coast. The rise of [[Abeokuta]] in the 1840s created another power rivaling Dahomey, largely by creating a safe haven for people from the slave trade.<ref name="Yoder" />

Notable [[Yoruba people]] who were captured by Dahomey in slave raids following the collapse of the Oyo Empire include [[Sarah Forbes Bonetta]] (Aina), [[Cudjoe Lewis]] (Oluale Kossola), [[Matilda McCrear]] (Abake), [[Redoshi]], and [[Seriki Williams Abass]] (Ifaremilekun Fagbemi).
