The French empire has acquired colonies in the Caribbean region, wherein French plantation owners employed local hands. However, shortage of manual labour in these plantations led to the blossoming of a triangular slave trade in Europe, Africa and America. French slave traders sailed from the southern French ports of Bordeaux and Nantes and bought African slaves from the local chieftains. From there on the slaves were shipped to America in inhuman conditions and forced to work in the Caribbean plantation. Although the convention of 1794 abolished slavery in France and its colonies, it was reintroduced by Napoleon. Eventually it was abolished forever in 1848.
The Jacobin club was the most popular and successful political club of France. It derived its name from a former convent of St Jacob in Paris.
The members of Jacobin club were mostly less prosperious sections of the society. This included the shoppkeepers, shoemakers, pastry cooks, watch-makers, printers,
as well as servants and daily-wage workers.
The club was formed due to political climate that mistreated the people of France. This included increase in the direct tax, the taxes charged by the Church and no involvement of people in the governance of the country.
Achievements of the Club:
They planned an insurrection of a large number of Parisians who were angered by the short supplies and high prices of food. On August 10, the members of the club marched the Palace of Tuileries, captured the king and held him as hostage. They then declared that evreyone above the age of 21 were allowed to vote, irrespective of thier wealth. Also, they elected a new assembly called the Convention. Then they abolished slavery and declared France as a republic nation.
