Lost among these debates, however, is the fact that such payments were widespread in the nineteenth century?except the ?victims? were not slaves, but the slaveholders deprived of their labor. This landmark comparative study analyzes the debates over compensation within France and Great Britain. It lays out in unprecedented detail the philosophical, legal-political, and economic factors at play, establishing a powerful new model for understanding the aftermath of slavery in the Americas. 410 0$aEuropean expansion and global interaction. 606 $aSlaveholders$xLegal status, laws, etc$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aSlaveholders$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aIndemnity$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aIndemnity$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation$zFrance$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1789-1900 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y19th century 615 0$aSlaveholders$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aSlaveholders$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aIndemnity$xHistory. 615 0$aIndemnity$xHistory. 615 0$aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation$xHistory. 676 $a326/.8097 686 $aNW 8295$qBVB$2rvk 700 $aBeauvois$b Fre?de?rique$01718611 702 $aEverson$b Andrene 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828739703321 996 $aBetween blood and gold$94115697 997 $aUNINA
