Summary

As they were being transported to their new home in the Spanish colony of Cuba on July 1, 1839, a group of Africans who had been captured in northwestern Africa and sold into slavery mutinied aboard the Spanish schooner Amistad, killing its captain and cook. The schooner then traveled up the U.S. coast, where a U.S. Navy ship apprehended it and took the Africans into custody. Should the United States free the Africans? Or should it return them to Spanish authorities in Cuba? 

This eBook examines the Amistad case and delves into the pro and con arguments that surrounded it. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, and a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic.
