History
The Abolition of Slavery
दासप्रथा का उन्मूलन
In this Class 9 History topic from The French Revolution, students examine how revolutionary ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity challenged slavery and the slave trade. They learn about the exploitation of enslaved people in French colonies, the role of colonial wealth, the demands of abolitionists, and the stages through which slavery was abolished and later restored before final emancipation. The topic helps connect political change in France with struggles for human rights across the Atlantic world.
