Yes, there were black slaves in France, particularly during the period of colonial expansion and the transatlantic slave trade.

How many slaves were killed?

It is impossible to say, because millions were captured over a three to four hundred year period and then transported under the most horrible conditions, so many died in transit. They were then tortured and beaten for the smallest reasons, so many died when they got here. The slaves were considered property like cattle, so many were worked to death. They lived under very poor conditions and many were beaten to death for trying to escape. They were also considered 3/5 of a human being, so it would have been hard to count how many there were. I don't think you can put a number on it. (Note: This is not accurate. The 3/5 compromise only counted slaves as 3/5ths for purposes of representation. Contrary to modern misunderstandings, it was the free states that developed this compromise in order to limit the southern represenation, thereby weakening the legal foundation of slave owning states.)

Why did many freed slaves remain on the farms where they had worked as slaves?

Many freed slaves remained on the farms where they had worked as slaves for several reasons: Some masters asked (or demanded) that the newly free slaves stay on the master's property, offering a house and wages. However, by the time the master was done charging the freed slaves for rent and supplies, they received no wages and could not afford to move to another place. Some slaves were not told that they were free. Many freed slaves did not know how to live as free men and women. They would try it for awhile and then return to their former masters. Others stayed with their masters because the master had been good to them and continued to treat them well after emancipation.
