16356Amistad mutiny. Schooner Amistad. US Congress 29th Congress 1st Session: 1846. Report No. 753. Washington D.C.: June 24 1846. 17 pages. 9 x 6 in. First edition Report on the ongoing tension between the US and Spain in the wake of the Amistad mutiny in 1839 in which 53 African slaves took control of the Spanish ship that was transporting them and sailed to the United States; the slaves were granted freedom in a landmark case that reached the Supreme Court The United States vs. The Amistad 1841. Spanish authorities declared this an illegal act and an overstepping of American authority and thus engaged in a several years long battle for indemnity and damages from the US government. <br/><br/>This report documents the exchange of letters between official representatives of the United States and the Spanish minister to the United States Mr. Calderon de la Barca. The Minister lists specific articles of the 1795 treaty between the US and Spain which specifically deal with ships and merchant property. The US had freed the slaves years earlier Spain still demanded indemnity "for the Spanish vessel called the Amistad her cargo and the slaves on board of her" page 4. At this time owning slaves was legal in the United States although importing slaves from Africa or the Caribbean was outlawed. Under this framework the Supreme Court justices determined that the mutiny aboard the Amistad was not from slaves but "kidnapped and free negroes". The Africans aboard the ship were thus liberated and returned to Africa. Spanish representatives considered this to be an illegal seizure. Very good condition. Disbound slight crimping and light foxing of text. Rare. unknown books
