How did the role of ports like Nantes and Bordeaux make the slavery debate complex?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They profited from the slave trade, so abolition conflicted with their economic interests.

Nantes and Bordeaux were major ports involved in the Atlantic slave trade and commerce with the colonies. Shipowners and merchants benefited from this system, so the moral demand to abolish slavery conflicted with their economic interests. Option D is wrong because these ports had strong commercial links with the colonies. Exam tip: remember the abolition debate as a conflict between moral principles and economic profit.
