Why is it important to connect the prosperity of Nantes and Bordeaux with slave trade?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it shows that these ports' prosperity was linked to slave trade and why abolition faced economic opposition

Nantes and Bordeaux were major French ports that profited from the Atlantic slave trade. Shipping, trade, and businesses connected with the colonies earned income through the trade in enslaved people and their labour. Thus, the abolition of slavery was not only a moral issue of equality; it also challenged powerful economic interests. Option C is a close distractor but is incorrect because French ports and merchants also benefited from this system. Exam tip: Link the abolition debate with both the ideals of liberty and commercial profit.
