The prosperity of cities such as Nantes and Bordeaux through the slave trade was linked with which moral problem?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit depended on inhuman slave labour

Ports such as Nantes and Bordeaux benefited from Atlantic commercial networks connected with the slave trade, plantation commodities and shipping. Merchants and investors could earn substantial profits, but those profits were made possible by the capture, forced transportation and exploitation of enslaved Africans and by coercive labour on plantations. The moral problem was therefore the contradiction between commercial prosperity and the suffering, loss of freedom and denial of humanity experienced by the people who produced that wealth. Option A is correct because it identifies the connection between economic gain and inhuman exploitation. Education reform, women’s suffrage and repairing the Bastille do not explain the source or ethical character of this trading prosperity. Economic success cannot by itself make an unjust system morally acceptable.
