What you mention regarding the king trying to regulate the situation is not in contradiction with France simply being more concerned with human rights than other countries.
Do we know how slaves were treated in other areas ( Africa, the Middle East, South America,...)? I find it hard to believe they were any better. The fact that they tried to improve the slave's conditions doesn't prove they were a particularly cruel country for the time.
More slaves were brought to the Middle East than to America, Where are those slave's descendants? Why didn't they revolt?
- orwin 4y agoYou have to read about mameluks (the litterature is quite complete, and as some of them could write, you can have the slave point of view on slavery). That will answer most of your questions, and you won't have to trust a random commentator like me (i only know of the end of the mameluk Bajri and the impact it had on west European powers)
