Liverpool's economy benefitted from the slave trade as it became a major port for the transatlantic slave trade in the 18th century. The city profited from shipping enslaved Africans to the Americas, which led to the growth of industries such as banking, insurance, and shipbuilding. This influx of wealth also helped develop Liverpool's infrastructure and urban environment.
The main BRITISH ports involved in the slave trade were London, Bristol and Liverpool.
No, not everyone in Liverpool benefited from the slave trade. The profits mostly went to wealthy merchants and ship owners involved in the trade, while many others in the city did not directly benefit. Additionally, the negative consequences of the slave trade, such as social unrest and displacement of communities, affected the wider population.
There were numerous inns in Liverpool during the slave trade, but an exact number is difficult to determine as records from that time period are incomplete. Liverpool's growth as a major slave trading port led to an increase in businesses to accommodate the influx of traders, ship crews, and other individuals involved in the trade.
The slave trade had significant social effects on Liverpool, including the accumulation of wealth and growth of the city's economy, as well as the development of industries like shipbuilding and manufacturing. However, it also led to the perpetuation of racism, exploitation of enslaved individuals, and contributed to the city's involvement in a morally reprehensible trade. The legacy of the slave trade continues to impact Liverpool's social fabric and history today.
The two I know of for sure ar Manchester and Liverpool
They had financial benefits and slaves were a good trade commodity.
Liverpool, London and Bristol were the main ones.
It appears that the pamphlet "The African Slave Trade" tends to have the most favorable view of the slave trade, as it argues for the economic benefits and justifications of slavery.
London had a monopoly on the slave trade until the late 17th century. From then on Liverpool in the North West and Bristol in the South West were the two ports most heavily involved
