What understanding remains incomplete if commercial interests are ignored in the question of slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Why opposition to the abolition of slavery was so strong

French merchants, shipowners and plantation owners earned major profits from slavery. Enslaved labour made colonial crops such as sugar, coffee and indigo cheaper to produce, so these groups strongly opposed abolition. Looking only at moral arguments leaves the economic strength of that opposition unexplained. The date 1794 refers to a legal decision; ignoring commercial interests does not alter that date. Exam tip: connect abolition with both moral arguments and the colonial plantation economy.
