1839-Jul.: The celebrated mutiny on the ship Amistad occurred as the vessel was engaged in intra-American slave trafficking. Led by a captive named Cinque, the Africans successfully overpowered the crew, killed the captain, and took control of the ship. The vessel eventually reached the United States, sparking a lengthy and high-profile legal process. Ultimately, the captives were freed by the U.S. court system and were permitted to return to their homes in Africa.
