Correct answer

1848

1848

Why

Slavery was first abolished in 1794, re-established by Napoleon in 1802, then definitively abolished in the French colonies by the decree of 27 April 1848. The Taubira law of 2001 recognised the slave trade and slavery as crimes against humanity. From the official naturalisation knowledge-question list.
