Amistad
"Amistad Case, court case of 1841 in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Africans aboard L’Amistad, a ship from the Spanish colony of Cuba that was found off the coast of Long Island, New York, should be returned to their homeland and not returned to Cuba as slaves. While not particularly significant for its legal principles, the case brought great attention to the antislavery movement in the United States. It is one of the few Supreme Court decisions that abolitionists (opponents of slavery) won before the American Civil War (1861-1865). "(Microsoft Encarta)
