The International Slavery Museum in Liverpool was opened in 2007 to mark the 200th anniversary of the end of the slave trade. Despite many enduring local myths, slaves were not actually bought and sold in Liverpool, although many businessmen profited from the trade. In fact, manufactured goods would leave Liverpool and be sold in West Africa in exchange for slaves. The slaves would then be transported across the Atlantic and sold to plantation owners in America. Finally, the ships would collect raw materials such as cotton and return to Liverpool.
