As if anyone gives a fuck what the "feelings" were in Northern England. If it wasn't for the slavers operating for decades out of Liverpool slavery might have ended years earlier. But it was slavery that built Liverpool and it only exists as the city it is today because of the money from slavery. Indeed, Eric Williams argued as early as 1944 in his now classic Capitalism and Slavery that it was profits from slavery that fueled and supported the industrial revolution in England. So put on the slavery mantel tommy, your fucking Homeland owes plenty to the transportation, blood, profit and sale of African Slaves as J.M.W.Turner well knew, when he painted, Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard The Dead And Dying Typhoon Coming On) (1840).
