The slave trade significantly contributed to Liverpool's economic growth in the 18th and early 19th centuries, creating numerous jobs in various sectors. The port became a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade, leading to increased demand for shipbuilding, shipping, and dockwork. Additionally, related industries, such as textiles and rum production, flourished due to the raw materials and profits generated by the trade, further expanding employment opportunities in the city. Thus, the slave trade played a crucial role in shaping Liverpool's economy and workforce during this period.
