J. Martin—~~The Emancipation of Slaves in Mayotte (Dec. 1846-July 1847). ~~The only French colony where slavery was abrogated before 1848 was Mayotte (annexed in 1841). The decision was taken partly to avoid trouble with the R. N. anti-slavery squadron, partly to provide labour for the French settlers' plantations. Most of native landlords chose to leave the island with their slaves rather than to accept compensation for freeing them. Less than a third of the slaves were actually emancipated and those were unwilling to work either for the settlers or for the 'gouvernement1. The attempted colonisation was a complete failure resulting in a social situation which led to the 1856 uprising. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
