Answer:

In the mid 16th century, enslaved people were trafficked from Africa to the Caribbean by European mercantilists. Originally, white European indentured servants worked alongside enslaved African people in the "New World" (the Americas). [2] At this time, there were not widespread theories of race or racism that would cause different treatment for white indentured servants and enslaved African people. Francois Bernier, who is considered to have presented the first modern concept of race, published his work “A New Division of the Earth according to the Different Species or Races of Men Who Inhabit It” in 1684, over 100 years after slaves were brought to the "New World" (the Americas).[3] While this was published in the late 17th century, race theory was not largely popularized among merchants or colonizers until the 19th century.[3] Racism ultimately dismantled the working integration of white indentured servants and enslaved Africans.

As of 1778, the French were trafficking approximately 13,000 African people for enslavement to the French West Indies each year.[4] While slavery had been active in French colonies since the early 16th century, it was theoretically not legitimized by the French government until the Revolutionary convention in 1794.[5] The French slave trade functioned along a triangular route, wherein ships would travel from France to colonized African countries, and then to the Caribbean colonies.[6] The triangular setup was intentional, as France aimed to bring the African laborers to the New World, wherein their labor was of higher value because of the natural and cheap resources cultivated from the land, and then bring the product back to France.[6] In French, the commerce triangulaire referred to this Atlantic economy based on the trafficking of enslaved people from Africa.[7]
