Description
Liverpool and the Slave Trade by Anthony Tibbles is a comprehensive account of Liverpool's role in the transatlantic slave trade. Over four centuries, the city's merchants played a significant part in forcibly transporting over 1.5 million Africans to work on Caribbean plantations. This book tells the story of the merchants and ship captains who organised the trade, exploring how they bought and sold enslaved people, treated them during the Atlantic voyage, and benefited from the slave trade. Drawing on recent research and contemporary documents, it also examines the efforts to end the trade and its lasting legacy in Liverpool and beyond. By shedding new light on a previously overlooked period of history, this book provides valuable insights into the city's complex past and its ongoing impact today.
