Explanation:
French merchants bought slaves from Africa and sent them to Caribbea and were important suppliers of tobacco, indigo, sugar and coffee. French port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes prospered economically through slave trade. Slavery was finally abolished in the French colonies in 1848.
Revolutionary France abolished slavery throughout its empire in 1794, although it was restored in 1802 by Napoleon as part of a programme to ensure sovereignty over its colonies.
