Some of the events/facts used in the rectification:

 

The country we refer to as Benin today was once the

powerful Kingdom of Dahomey. It was eventually

nicknamed the Slave Coast because of the significant trafficking

through Dahomey of Africans (against their will) to the Americas, specifically to

the slave markets of Brazil and the Caribbean.

 

 It was transformed into a French Colony in the late

1800s, finally gaining its full independence from France in 1960. The

country's current name (Benin) was adopted in

1975.

 

 Subsequently, it witnessed a series of military

coups, a mistaken association with Marxism, and the somewhat typical health and

infrastructure problems indigenous to its neighbors, and most West African

countries.

 

 As a new democracy, the brightside is Benin's economy is growing

and tourism is on the increase, especially along the coastal areas, and in the

wildlife national parks of the north.

 

 Much of the interior population is still dependent

on subsistence farming; growing beans, corn and yams. Important cash crops

include cotton, cocoa and coffee.
