The book ""Argument Of John Quincy Adams Before The Supreme Court Of The U.S. In The Case Of The U.S. Vs. Cinque And Others, Africans Captured In The Schooner Amistad (1841)"" is a historical document that recounts the legal proceedings of a landmark case in American history. The case involved a group of Africans who were captured and brought to the United States as slaves aboard the schooner Amistad. John Quincy Adams, a former President of the United States and an experienced lawyer, argued on behalf of the Africans before the Supreme Court of the United States.The book provides a detailed account of the legal arguments put forward by Adams in defense of the Africans. Adams argued that the Africans were not slaves but were instead free individuals who had been kidnapped and illegally transported to the United States. He also argued that the international slave trade was illegal under American law and that the Africans had the right to defend themselves against their captors.The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the legal and political debates surrounding slavery in the United States during the mid-19th century. It provides valuable insights into the legal arguments and strategies used by abolitionists in their fight against slavery and the slave trade. Overall, ""Argument Of John Quincy Adams Before The Supreme Court Of The U.S. In The Case Of The U.S. Vs. Cinque And Others, Africans Captured In The Schooner Amistad (1841)"" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, law, and politics.With A Review Of The Case Of The Antelope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
