A failed escape from Paris

In 1791, the French royal family tried to escape from Paris. With loyal troops they wanted to start a counter-revolution. However, the royals were caught in the township of Varennes after being recognised. They seemed to have forgotten that the king’s face was on every coin in France. The National Convention charged Louis XVI with ‘treason’ and classified him as an enemy to the nation. Despite his pleas of innocence, 387 members voted for the death penalty. The king was almost saved, because 334 people voted against his conviction. Eventually Louis XVI was executed on the Place de la Revolution in 1793.

Movement to end slavery

Under the influence of Christianity during the Middle Ages, slavery had slowly disappeared from Europe. The Christian church preached that no Christian could own another Christian, because all souls belonged to God. However, the church was willing to make an exception for slavery in the colonies.

Even though slavery was widely accepted in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, not everybody supported it. The first protests came from Dutch and German Quakers in North America in the late seventeenth century, who believed all humans were created equal and should be treated equally. However, the first real protest in Europe came from England, where in 1772 a judge set a slave free on the grounds that slavery was forbidden in England and that the transaction in which the man was bought was illegal. This in combination with the ideas of the Enlightenment, created a movement of people questioning the morality of slavery and attempting to end it. This was called abolitionism. The abolitionist movement slowly gained more and more support and in the early nineteenth century, slave trade became illegal in most European countries and their colonies. It would take another half century for the Western world to completely abolish slavery.
