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 illegally sold as slaves. In this fascinating
revisionist history, Benjamin N. Lawrance reconstructs six entwined
stories and brings them to the forefront of the" Amistad "conflict.
Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children's
own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably
interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal
nineteenth-century transatlantic slave smuggling.
