OTL France went through an eight year period in which slavery had been banned, before Napoleon reestablished it in 1802. I was initially thinking of a POD in which Napoleon opted not to restore slavery, but I don't think that's necessary- 8 years should be more then enough time for someone in the French leadership to propose taking Britain down a notch by sponsoring slave rebellions.

So my question is: do the French have any obvious incentive to not try this? Are they likely to succeed if they do?
