Why did the National Assembly delay on the question of slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it feared upsetting powerful commercial interests linked to the slave trade

Option A is correct. Merchants in French port cities and plantation owners in the colonies profited from the slave trade and enslaved labour. The National Assembly hesitated to confront these powerful commercial interests, so it delayed action on abolition. Option B is incorrect because final abolition in the French colonies came in 1848, not during the early phase of the National Assembly. Exam tip: Link the slavery issue with French colonies, plantations, and maritime commercial interests.
