In 1835, slavery was abolished in Mauritius, but for the 65,000 enslaved people freed, freedom came with a cruel catch: a six-year 'Apprenticeship System' that kept them legally bound to their former masters. This episode unpacks the system's origins under Governor Sir William Nicolay, the outrage it sparked across the British Empire—led by abolitionist Thomas Fowell Buxton—and how Franco-Mauritian sugar planters manipulated the loophole to maintain control. We examine the gendered labor quotas, the public whippings that continued despite abolition, and the 'Great Experiment' that replaced apprentices with indentured laborers from India. Through the stories of individuals like the maroon leader Sans-Souci and the forgotten protests in Port Louis, we reveal how a supposed transition to freedom became another extractive regime, shaping Mauritius's social and economic landscape for generations. #Mauritius #ApprenticeshipSystem #SirWilliamNicolay #ThomasFowellBuxton #SlaveryAbolition #FrancoMauritian #IndoMauritian #Marronnage #SansSouci #PortLouis #GreatExperiment #Indenture #KalaPani #LeMorneBrabant #1835 #History #FexingoHistory #SugarPlantations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
