2020 - на Мартинике под горячую руку свержен памятник борцу за отмену рабства...
Оказывается, во Франции рабство было впервые отменено Революцией в 1794 году.
И это было Наполеон, кто его восстановил в 1802 году.
Освободитель...

The French Law of 20 May 1802 was passed that day (30 floréal year X), revoking the Law of 4 February 1794 (16 pluviôse) which had abolished slavery in all the French colonies. However, the 1794 decree was only implemented in Saint-Domingue, Guadeloupe and Guyane, and was a dead letter in Senegal, Mauritius, Reunion and Martinique, the last of which had been conquered by the British, who maintained the institution of slavery on that Caribbean island.
Réunion hindered its implementation. Martinique refused to ratify it due to a royalist insurrection there, similar to that in the Vendée, which had been in revolt since 16 September 1793 and had, represented by planter Louis-François Dubuc, signed the Whitehall accord of submission to Britain. On 6 February 1794 the British began their military conquest of Martinique, completed on 21 March 1794, and thus the island avoided the abolition of slavery.
The Law of 20 May 1802 had the express purpose of restoring slavery in Saint-Domingue, Guadeloupe and French Guiana, and was passed when Napoleon turned his attention to the French colonies in the peace that followed the 1802 Treaty of Amiens, which also restored Martinique to France. Napoleon's attempts to restore slavery in Saint-Domingue proved futile.

И это было Наполеон, кто его восстановил в 1802 году.
