The Amistad Coloring Book (Dover Pictorial Archives)
by Peter Copeland


Книжка – раскраска.
28 meticulously rendered, ready-to-color illustrations, among them the capture of Africans' in their homeland, their revolt aboard ship in Havana, imprisonment in a New Haven jail, and their successful defense before the Supreme Court by former U.S. President John Quincy Adams.
In 1839, the Amistad, a Baltimore-built schooner engaged in the slave trade, was the scene of a mutiny in which its human cargo revolted against the crew and killed the captain. Hoping to sail back to their native land, the Africans landed instead off the New England Coast.
