The Atlantic slave trade fueled the rise of Liverpool. By 1750, Liverpool had supplanted Bristol as the leading slave port in Britain. In the process, a remarkable group of merchants formed a set of social and commercial relationships that served to underpin this growth. The rise of Liverpool is attributable to the character of the town's slave-trading community.

520 $a The Atlantic slave trade fueled the rise of Liverpool. By 1750, Liverpool had supplanted Bristol as the leading slave port in Britain. In the process, a remarkable group of merchants formed a set of social and commercial relationships that served to underpin this growth. The rise of Liverpool is attributable to the character of the town's slave-trading community.
520 $a The liberation of merchants in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution from centuries of aristocratic dominance was translated into political, social and commercial power in the decades after 1700. Merchants were the rulers of Liverpool throughout the eighteenth century, as trade became the leitmotif of town government. After 1700, newly influential merchants attempted to cast themselves as a new social and commercial aristocracy.
520 $a This effort was short-lived, however, as a diverse group of men flocked to Liverpool in pursuit of profit in the African trade. Thus, migration to Liverpool had a transformative affect upon the social construction of the slave trade and the nature of the bonds that joined the slaving community together in common purpose.
520 $a A major feature of this study is an examination of the relatively open nature of the Liverpool trade for all who wished to sell slaves in the New World. This ease of access attracted would-be merchants to Liverpool and served to short-circuit any attempt to build a slave trading elite. Any investor with enough funds could trade for slaves in Africa, regardless of prior social position or place of origin.
520 $a Prominent merchant families did not monopolize the opportunities for profit in the slave trade. The involvement of new men in Liverpool trade after 1700 suggests that by the mid-eighteenth century a process of social and commercial liberalization had altered the social composition of the slave trading community. The openness of the Liverpool slave trade to outsiders can be traced to a general loosening of traditional social practices and institutions that had restricted access to trade before 1700. Thus, entrepreneurs became the real powers in the Liverpool slave trade.
