In 1835, slavery ended in Mauritius — or did it? This episode unpacks the Apprenticeship System, a four-year transitional period that kept former slaves bound to their masters under harsh conditions. Lucas and Luna explore how Franco-Mauritian planters, led by men like Sir William Nicolay, manipulated the system to maintain control over the sugar industry. They discuss the role of Thomas Fowell Buxton and British abolitionists, the resistance of former slaves who challenged the system, and the violent clashes that erupted across the island. The conversation traces how the Apprenticeship System collapsed early in 1839 due to widespread noncompliance and global pressure, but its legacy persisted in labor exploitation and ethnic stratification. Drawing on specific examples — like the 1838 trial of a planter for murdering an apprentice — the episode reveals how freedom was delayed for thousands, and how the struggle for true emancipation shaped modern Mauritian identity. #Mauritius #ApprenticeshipSystem #Slavery #Abolition #SirWilliamNicolay #ThomasFowellBuxton #FrancoMauritian #SugarPlantations #1835 #1839 #BritishEmpire #Indenture #MascareneIslands #FexingoHistory #IndianOcean #ColonialHistory #Resistance #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
