A "triangular slave trade" between Europe, Asia , and the Americas started in the 17th century to solve the labour crisis on the plantations.
Explanation:
- From Bordeaux or Nantes ports, French traders sailed on the African coast, where slaves were bought from local chiefs. Branded & chained, for three-month journeys across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, the slaves were tightly packed into ships. They were sold there to the owners of the plantation. Thus, in France, slave trade had a strong roots.
- Slavery was rarely criticized in France throughout the 18th century. The National Assembly has held extensive debates about whether civil rights should be applied to all French issues, including in colonies. But there were no laws enacted, fearing that business owners whose income dependent on slave labor would protest.
- Finally, it was the Convention in 1794 that regulated the liberation of all the French slaves from foreign possession. But that didn't last long. After a decade in the colonies of France in 1848, Napoleon reintroduced slavery in 1804.
