What was the biggest obstacle in extending the ideals of the French Revolution to colonies?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Dependence of colonial trade and plantation profits on slave labour

The French Revolution promoted liberty and equality, but plantation owners and merchants in the Caribbean colonies earned major profits through enslaved labour. Their economic interests therefore opposed the abolition of slavery, making this the main obstacle to applying revolutionary ideals in the colonies. Option D is incorrect because the National Convention was formed and abolished slavery in 1794. Exam tip: Link the conflict between revolutionary ideals and colonial economic interests.
