Areas of North America controlled by the French had relatively few slaves primarily because the French colonial economy was less dependent on plantation agriculture compared to the British colonies. The French focused more on fur trading and other economic activities that required fewer enslaved laborers. Additionally, French legal codes, such as the Code Noir, provided certain rights to enslaved people, which may have contributed to a different social dynamic that did not prioritize large-scale slavery. Consequently, the demographic and economic conditions in French territories led to a lower reliance on enslaved labor.
