When did slavery end in Martinique?

Slavery was officially abolished in Martinique in 1848.1

The abolition was achieved through a decree prepared by the French politician and dedicated abolitionist Victor Schoelcher, who served as the undersecretary for the navy at the time. This historic action ended a long period of institutionalized enslavement that had been central to the island's plantation economy under French colonial rule. Following the 1848 decree, plantation owners in Martinique sought to maintain their labor force by importing workers from India and China.213
