Answer:

"From 1628 to 1642, French sailors captured slaves on foreign slave ships and brought them into the French colonies. ... The slave trade was legalized by King Louis XIII in 1642, and his successor Louis XIV encouraged the slave trade "by giving a subsidy for each slave introduced into the colonies in 1672," added Regent
