		They claimed the Amistad was traveling with their property of 53 African slaves to Cuba from Havana, when on the fourth day of their voyage the slaves escaped their chains and took control of the ship.
		The Amistad committee had written the president a letter advising that the treaty of 1795 did not apply for this case because of the conflicting claims of property rights, and because the Africans were kidnapped, which means that Cuba was in violation of the antislavery England/Spain Treaty.
		That when the ship was boarded by the USS Washington, it was in the procession of the Africans, and knowing that the Africans were not going to sell themselves as slaves, the Supreme court reversed Judge Judson's decision of returning them to Africa in accordance with the anti-slavery trade law of 1808.

		In 1839, the Cuban slave ship La Amistad is carrying a full cargo of Africans across the Atlantic.
		The ship winds up not back in Africa but off the coast of Connecticut, where the Africans are arrested.
		Amistad devotes itself to scene after scene of drably attired white guys arguing over what should be done with the Africans, where they came from, etc. The Africans themselves are generally a faceless, abstract bunch, and even Cinqué; is never quite real to us.

	Review: Amistad
		On the whole, while Amistad may not be faithful to all of the details of the situation, it is true to the spirit and meaning of what transpired.
		Amistad's presentation of the legal and political intricacies surrounding the trial are fascinating, making this movie one of the most engrossing courtroom dramas in recent history.
		Amistad's trek to the screen, which encountered some choppy waters (author Barbara Chase-Riboud has cried plagiarism, a charge denied by the film makers), comes in the midst of an upsurge of interest in the incident.

	Oberlin Heritage Center: Oberlin & the Capture of the Amistad
		After months go by, the ship has started to look very ragged, and eventually the ship was sighted and brought into port by a group of concerned Americans, who thought the ship was a pirate ship because of its ill-kept appearance and "aimless" course.
		On August 29, 1839, the ship was towed to New London, Connecticut, where the re-captured slaves were put in a county jail in New Haven, Connecticut, while the Americans tried to figure out what to do with them.
		Tappan met the captives and helped organize their legal defense and arranged for the captives to stay at the home of the jailer rather than in the jail itself, and though they were not treated particularly well, the conditions there were significantly better.

	Review of Speilberg's Amistad
		He seems to be on a quest to edify the public as to the positive side of human evil by displaying the shining exception in the middle of the horrific rule.
		After one man (later to be called "Cinque") breaks free of his chains, the Africans "mutiny" and kill the ship’s crew, with the exception of the navigator and his assistant.
		Unfortunately, Amistad peaks there, five minutes into the three hour story, and the flashes of lightening, overused, quickly began to remind me of strobe lights flickering at a junior high school dance.

	The Amistad Revolt
		News soon got around about a mysterious ship in the neighborhood with her "sails nearly all blown to pieces." It was the "long, low, fl schooner," the story of which had been appearing in newspapers in previous weeks as the ship cruised northeast along the U.S. coastline.
		To raise funds to charter a ship, the abolitionists organized a speaking tour in the Northern states, and the "Amistads" went from town to town, appearing before sympathetic audiences, telling the story of their ordeal, and displaying their knowledge of written and spoken English.
		By the time the Amistad Case came to an end, it had so embittered feelings between the anti-slavery North and the slave-holding South that it must be counted as one of the events leading to the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1860.

	Rob Waring: Amistad (Van Buren's Folly)
		Yes, it’s true that Amistad is another movie about some fl people in peril who are helped out by some nice white guys, and told largely from the perspective of these white guys.
		For that reason, this true story of the 1839 rebellion on the slave ship La Amistad and the subsequent recapture and trial of the (alleged) slaves has been the subject of some controversy.
		The crew of the United States warship that recaptured La Amistad claims a one-third salvage interest in the vessel, under a maritime law incentive scheme that rewards enterprising seamen, even those in government employ, for retrieving lost property.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Amistad" review
		After two ragged months doing circles at sea, the ship, "La Amistad," is captured off the coast of Connecticut and the would-be slaves are put on trial for murdering the crew.
		The case is complicated by ownership claims made on the captured men by Spain, the La Amistad's surviving crew members and the Navy officers who seized the ship.
		His entire existence is laid out before us in powerful scenes, from his memories of life in Africa and of slaves being thrown overboard the La Amistad to his dignity in the courtroom despite being at a loss to fully understand what is happening.
