The film that I watch is named Amistad, Amistad is the name of a slave ship traveling from Cuba to the U.S. in 1839. It is carrying a cargo of Africans who have been sold into slavery in Cuba, taken on board, and chained in the cargo hold of the ship. As the ship is crossing from Cuba to the United States, Cinque who was a tribal leader in Africa, leads a munity and takes over the ship. They continue to sail, hoping to find help when they land. Instead, when they reach the United States, they are imprisoned as runaway slaves.
They were taking them to the states of he south but in the middle of the trip the slaves break their prisons and started a mutiny against the Spanish men. When the Africans killed most of the Spanish men, just two of the Spanish men survive and Cinque told them to take them to Africa, but they didn’t drove so well so by accident they arrived in the states of the north (in the United states), and it was illegal to have slaves in the states of the north. So, when the slaves arrived, so many countries were fighting to get the slaves. For example, the Queen of Spain, The Queen of England and The British Empire and people from the states of the south were in the supreme court fighting for the slaves. Roger Baldwin and Theodore Joadson were some Lawyers the were fighting against those all to set the slaves free.
After the ship was taken into custody by the United States Coast Guard, Cinqué and his fellow Africans, This reached the US Supreme Court, defended themselves from being enslaved through the illegal Atlantic slave trade and were released. Americans helped raise money for their return to Africa. Martin Van Buren: The Amistad case was a freedom suit that involved international issues and parties, as well as United States law, resulting from the rebellion of Africans on board the Spanish schooner La Amistad in 1839, The Van Buren administration supported the Spanish government's demand that the ship and its cargo be turned over to them. When a Federal District Court judge ruled that the Africans were legally free and should be transported home, the administration appealed the case to the Supreme Court. Queen Isabella II of Spain: Her reign saw tensions with the United States over the Amistad affair and over the war in the Pacific; independence revolts in Cuba and Puerto Rico; and some progress in public works, especially railways, and a slight improvement in commerce and finance.
Some of the artifacts came from Nigeria, Sengal, Congo, Liberia, and Angolia (On the Water). This suggests that there were likely people from many African countries (Smithsonian). Equiano’s account of the middle passage started when he was kidnapped and enslaved at the age of eleven years old. Equiano survived the ten years of cruel enslavement and bought his freedom with the help of his last master Robert King. He then went on to write his narrative of the
Between the 1500s and the 1900s, Europeans forcibly uprooted millions of people from throughout West Africa and West Central Africa and shipped them across the Atlantic in conditions of great cruelty. The transatlantic slave trade was responsible for the forced migration of between 12-15 million people. European slavers dispersed them across the Americas to lead lives of degradation and brutality. As a result, people of African descent are spread throughout the Americas and Western Europe. This is called the African Diaspora.
