๐Ÿ“… 27 Maart 1852 ๐Ÿ“ Frans-Guyana

A second decree organizes recruitment, transport, arrival, and repatriation for workers sent to French colonies. On paper it required informed consent and set rules for voyages and contracts. In practice, later research shows that colonial labor migration included deception, coercive recruitment, and legal limits on workersโ€™ choices. The decree helped build a system that brought workers from India and Africa to Guiana.
