Ghezo
Because the British Empire wanted the Dahomey to end the slave trade it was a major controversy. One faction known as the Fly faction said that the Dahomey should end the slave trade like the British wanted. But King Ghezo and the Elephant faction said that they should keep the slave trade.  Ghezo wanted to continue to sell slaves to Francisco Félix de Souza. In 1852, Ghezo still signed a treaty with the British Empire to end the slave trade. But in 1857, Ghezo brought it back.
