Answer:
- The slave trade in France began during the 18th century when the merchants from France sailed the African coasts and obtained slaves from the provincial chieftains.
- These serfs were then stamped, chained and then fastened tightly into vessels for a period of 3 months for their long voyage beyond the Atlantic to the Caribbean.
- They were then sold to the plantation owners who employed them to the plantation of coffee, sugar and indigo.
- In the year 1791, the Constitution of France abolished slavery, but it was not executed in all the colonies of French.
- It is in the year 1848, that slavery was eventually abolished in French colonies.
