Why would it be incomplete to call opposition to abolition only ignorance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because merchants’ profits and plantation owners’ economic interests were tied to enslaved labour

A is correct. Many merchants and plantation owners earned substantial profits from enslaved labour. Their opposition to abolition was therefore not simply due to ignorance; it was also linked to economic self-interest and colonial profits. Option D is incorrect because slavery was abolished during the French Revolution in 1794, not permanently in 1789; Napoleon later restored it. Exam tip: In questions on slavery, connect moral debates with trade, plantations, and profit.
