"The Amistad Revolt and the Transatlantic Slave Trade" by Richard Worth explores the harrowing true story of the Amistad, a ship carrying enslaved Africans who revolted against their captors in 1839. After seizing control of the vessel, the captives aimed to return to Africa but were intercepted by American forces. The ensuing legal battle highlighted the moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding slavery, freedom, and human rights. This gripping account delves into the lives of the individuals involved, the historical context of the transatlantic slave trade, and the implications of the revolt on the fight against slavery in the United States.
