Answer: As soon as Europeans began to settle in America, in the early 16th century, they imported enslaved Africans to work for them. As European settlement grew, so did the demand for enslaved people. Over the next 300 years more than 11 million enslaved people were transported across the Atlantic from Africa to America and the West Indies, and Britain led this trade from the mid-17th century onwards. Ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow sent out many slaving ships each year, bringing great prosperity to their owners. Many other cities also grew rich on the profits of industries which depended on slave-produced materials such as cotton, sugar and tobacco.

The very earliest Dahomey Amazons made their living through what practice?
mr Goodwill [35]

Based on historical evidence, the very earliest Dahomey Amazons made their living through "mistresses to the king."

  • This is evident in the fact they were originally called "ahosi" in the native language which means the King's wives.

  • History has it that King Ghezo had many wives that runs into hundreds, and that is where he started recruiting them around the 19th century.

  • Dahomey Amazons are female soldiers of Fon origin who fought in defense of Dahomey.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option B. "mistresses to the king."
