- Summary:
- Explore the gripping tale of the Amistad! In 1839, this ship departed from Havana, Cuba, carrying 53 African captives bound for slavery. But these captives, belonging to the Mende tribe, bravely rose up, seized control of the ship, and demanded to be sailed back to Africa. They overpowered the captain and cook, yet the plantation owners cunningly altered course, steering the ship toward the United States instead.
