Revisionism from cultural-reactionaries such as yourself.


One of the first acts of the First Republic was to abolish slavery. For outrages such as this the whole of Europe declared war on France. After fending them off for a quarter of a century France was at last bled dry, nobody left to fight. The Restoration imposed a reactionary regime in France, which re-instated slavery. Not all the powers of Europe able to fully extinguish the light of liberty in France ever again, a few revolution laters, in 1848, France re-abolished slavery..
