Why did French merchants and plantation owners not oppose slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they gained economically from slave labour and the slave trade

French merchants earned profits from buying and selling enslaved people, while plantation owners benefited from their cheap or unpaid labour. Abolishing slavery would therefore have harmed their economic interests. Option B states the opposite, and option C is incorrect because merchants and plantation owners were directly linked to this system. Exam tip: identify the economic interests of groups that support a system.
