How did the prosperity of Nantes and Bordeaux influence the debate on abolition of slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profits from the slave trade and colonial commerce at these ports strengthened opposition to abolition

Nantes and Bordeaux were major French ports that gained greatly from the slave trade and commerce with the colonies. Merchants and groups linked to port trade feared that abolition would reduce their profits, so these economic interests strengthened resistance to ending slavery. Option B is incorrect because profitable involvement in this trade did not generally create immediate support for abolition. Exam tip: Link the slavery debate in the French Revolution to both the ideal of equality and colonial economic interests.
