The Amistad Case is one of the most important to ever come before US courts. It influenced the abolitionist movement and proved that many influential people in the United States were in favor of abolishing slavery on the whole.

On June 27, 1839, a Spanish ship known as the La Amistad, or “friendship,” set sail from Cuba on the way to a Cuban colony known as Puerto Principe.

On July 2, an African named Clinque managed to escape with the other enslaved. They killed the ship’s cook, who had lied to them by telling them they were going to be killed and eaten. Two sailors escaped on a life boat, but the enslaved left only Jose Ruiz and Pedro Montez alive so that they could steer the ship towards Africa.

Instead, the pair steered the ship along the coast of the United States. They dropped anchor outside Long Island on August 26. The US Navy ship Washington took custody of La Amistad together with the enslaved and took them to Connecticut. A case alleging mutiny and murder were filed, but dismissed.

The abolitionist movement saw this as a good case to get on. They filed charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, and assault against Ruiz and Montez. Subsequently, they were arrested, though they returned to Cuba.
