Amistad's Orphans: An Atlantic Story of Children, Slavery, and Smuggling
Benjamin Nicholas Lawrance
The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban schooner La Amistad in 1839. Like their adult companions, all were captured in Africa and sold as slaves. In this revisionist history, the author reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them to the forefront of the Amistad conflict.
