In 1839, a Spanish schooner carrying slaves, who were kidnapped in Africa, was taken over by the captives off the coast of Cuba. The schooner was later recaptured off the coast of Long Island, New York by the United States Navy. The events that followed, including the widely publicized court case helped propel the abolitionist movement of the mid 19th century. This is the story of the AMISTAD.
