I like lots of cities in England but I can't believe how depressing and ugly most of the areas in Liverpool actually are most of the areas are in the north of Liverpool with a few also in the south of Liverpool. Some articles about deprivation are about either health or low income but doesn't factor in the areas itself more about people's living condition. I can assure you Hackney in East London is miles better than pretty much most of Liverpool's areas and it's not so bland and depressing.
Built on the slave trade , unlike Manchester which was an important part of its abolition. Thanked with a statue from the great American Republic president Lincoln
Yes Liverpool was built on the slave trade but you can't pretend Manchester wasn't too. Manchester was nicknamed 'Cottonopolis', it's profits and prosperity were inextricably linked to slavery and the slave economy. You can't boil it down to just the places that had ships. Also Liverpool had abolitionists too, like William Roscoe to name a prominent figure.
The above comment explains it well. But every affluent and important city in the UK expanded due to the profits of slavery. Few are exempt. It’s a dark part of history but something we must learn to accept.
Slavery is hardly mentioned regarding Liverpool in history. Beatles and soccer. But England doesn't tell the truth when it comes to history. Plundered the world.
While giving a fair society, the rule of law and a democratic infrastructure. Liverpool`s link to slavery was only the ship owners, Slavery was already a worldwide commodity for centuries before, so the UKs role was just normal trade, then the UK was the first to ban slavery and its shipping out slaves from Africa. If you actually visit Liverpool, its part in the slave trade is all documented and on public display in the museum at the Albert Dock, so how is a public display not telling the truth?.
