Slow Death for Slavery in the National Archives of Benin (EAP1055)

This project intends thus to digitise the early colonial records dealing with the end of slavery. The formal abolition of slavery by the French colonial power did not directly lead to the end of slavery overnight as some of the masters tried to retain a form of spatialand contractual control over them by turning their former slaves into tenants and servants. Many former slavers sued their former masters who were trying to reassert their domination over them during the early colonial period.
