It's a true tale of mutiny on the high seas when the Africans, lead by Cinque, a young African farmer, revolt and seize control of the ship. The liberated Africans then start for home, but instead of reaching Africa, they wind up in New England. The results of these events, and the trial that ensued became front-page news. Were Cinque and the others rebellious slaves and mutineers? Were they property that must be returned to its rightful owners? Or, were they simply honest men and women trying to regain their freedom? 113 pgs.
