Question

Write a short note on slave trade in France

Answer 1

Answer:

Slavery was first abolished by the French Republic in 1794, but Napoleon revoked that decree in 1802.[16] In 1815, the Republic[clarification needed] abolished the slave trade but the decree did not come into effect until 1826.[17] France re-abolished slavery in her colonies in 1848 with a general and unconditional emancipation.[18][19]

William Wilberforce's Slave Trade Act 1807 abolished the slave trade in the British Empire. It was not until the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 that the institution finally was abolished, but on a gradual basis.[20] Since slave owners in the various colonies (not only the Caribbean) were losing their unpaid labourers, the government set aside £20 million for compensation but it did not offer the former slaves reparations.[21][22]

The colony of Trinidad was left with a shortage of labour. This shortage became worse after the abolition of slavery in 1833.
