Question

What was the most revolutionary reform of the jacobins club?

Answer 1

Throughout the eighteenth century, there was very little criticism of slavery.

1. Several long debates took place but a law abolishing slavery was never passed by the national assembly fearing opposition from business men whose income depended upon slave trade.

2. The jacobins lead by robespierre were strongly against slavery.

3. It was finally the convention that in 1794 legislated to free all slaves.

this proved to be a short term measure because ten years later, napoleon reintroduced slavery but abolition of slavery was however, one of the most revolutionary reforms of the jacobin regime.
