Question

Explain the network of slave trade in France? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Nantes slave trade resulted in the deportation, from the late 17th to the beginning of the 19th century, of more than 500,000 black African slaves into French ownership in the Americas, mainly in the Antilles. With 1,744 slave voyages, Nantes, France, was the principal French slave-trading port for the duration of this period. The town was the last centre for slave trade in France, until the abolishment of the practice in 1831, with the prohibition of the slave trade.[1

Network of slave trade in France

Explanation:

• French merchants sailed from the ports of Bordeaux or Nantes to the African coast from where they bought slaves from local chieftains. Infact France played a major role in slave trade, and had bought millions of slaves from  its African colonies . The slave trade was legalised by King Louis XIII in the year 1642, and his successor Louis XIV had encouraged the slave trade
• The slave trade was heavily engaged by French merchants, when French merchants had sailed from the ports of Nantes/Bordeaux. From the year 1721-30 French ships had carried 85000 enslaved Africans to the American and Caribbean plantations. They carried over 100000 in the 1730s. Altogether, French ships took some 1250000 enslaved Africans.  These slaves were sold to plantation owners, Even after France outlawed the trade, between 1818 and 1831 500 French ships conducted illegal slave trading.
• Slaves brought to their host nations by African slave traders to the coast where they were redirected from the boarding ports, referred to as gates of no return. The exploitation of forced labor had helped to satisfy the increasing demand for sugar, coffee and indigo  in European markets.
