"The Amistad Rebellion, which began with the determination of Sengbe Pieh and fifty-two other Sierra Leoneans not to accept enforced slavery, has had far reaching consequences on two continents. Although the origins are mostly forgotten today, the processes set in motion by this revolt will continue to influence the course of historical development in both the United States and Sierra Leone -- thanks, in large measure, to the courage of Sengbe Pieh." concludes Dr. Arthur Abraham, one of Sierra Leone's foremost historians in a publication of the U.S. State Department "AMISTAD REVOLT" published in full in our History section pages and available also as download of ready to print Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files in three languages : English , French and Spanish.
Great reading and educational resource that AMISTAD America recommends to teachers and students.
