摘要

The fight against slavery in France has a varied history. In 1794, before England, the Convention abolished slavery, but it was reintroduced under Napoleon in 1802. In 1818, following the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, the slave trade was banned in France, but the law passed under Louis XVIII remained a farce. A long political struggle began to abolish the slave trade and slavery. In 1834, the Société française pour l’abolition de l’esclavage was founded, chaired by Victor de Broglie, the French foreign minister (1832–1836) and prime minister (1835–1836). Among its members were Gustave de Beaumont and Alexis de Tocqueville, who were among the Society’s advocates for a rapid end to slavery.
