Liverpool and the slave trade (1750–1807)
On the Industrial Revolution map as “Liverpool”
1750–1807 — Britain’s leading slave-trading port: Liverpool ships carried between 1.3 and 1.5 million enslaved Africans across the Atlantic. After 1807 the same docks unload the slave-grown cotton of the American South. Remember them.
