About the 1839 Amistad mutiny of African slaves. The rebellion led to the Supreme Court's first civil rights case, US v. The Schooner Amistad, which resulted in the freedom of the captives and their return to Africa. The Amistad Revolt explains issues of criminal law, human rights, international law, intercultural communication, and the growth of the abolitionist movement in antebellum America.
