How does the issue of slavery show the global dimension of the French Revolution?

The debate on liberty and equality reached French colonies

The governing concept is that the French Revolution had consequences beyond metropolitan France. Its language of liberty, equality and rights travelled across the Atlantic to French colonies, where enslaved people and free people of colour challenged racial hierarchy and colonial domination. The debate over slavery exposed the contradiction between universal revolutionary ideals and the continued exploitation of colonial labour. Option A is correct because it identifies the movement of political ideas and conflict from France to its colonies. Option B is incorrect because the Revolution affected the wider Atlantic world. Options C and D deny the political and economic ties between France and its colonies. The issue therefore demonstrates that the Revolution was global in both its ideas and its consequences.
