Expert Answer
- Slavery in France
- The slave trade began in the seventeenth century. French merchants sailed from the ports of Bordeaux or Nantes to the African coast, where they bought slaves from local chieftains
- Slaves were then sold to plantation owners. Because of the employment of slaves in the colonies, the growing demands for sugar, coffee and indigo by the European markets were met.
- Port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes owed their economic prosperity to the flourishing slave trade.
- One of the important reforms of the Jacobin Club was the abolition of slavery in French colonies. The Convention passed in 1794 freed all slaves in the French overseas possessions.
- However, after being banned by the Jacobins, slavery was again reintroduced by Napoleon Bonaparte.
- Plantation owners considered as their right to enslave African Negroes in pursuit of their economic interests. Slavery was finally abolished in French colonies in 1848.
