Liverpool rose to slave-trade dominance only in the 1740s, a century later

Evidence

Richard Mather never saw a slave ship leave the Liverpool docks during his ministerial tenure in Toxteth in the 1620s. Liverpool did not become England’s main slave-ship station until the 1740s, succeeding London and Bristol. British slave-traders were slowly expanding their activities in the 1620s, unlike all those Anglican persecutors of Puritans. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 91
