Yes, it was considered to be inconsistnt with the Theory of Enlightenment and the principals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Napoleon was going to reverse the process in Haiti, but that move failed when the slaves revolted.

No, slavery was not practiced in France at the time of the French Revolution. The revolution was against a feudal class system, in which some people were considered to be noble and others common, and the common people, although they were not the slaves of the nobility, nonetheless did not enjoy the same legal rights as the nobility.
