**Amistad**  I watched a movie called __Amistad__. Steven Speilberg was the director. David Franzoni was the screenwriter. It happened in 1839 on a slave ship in the middle of the ocean and in Connecticut.

Cinque was from Africa and blamed for murder. Mr. Baldwin was the lawyer who tried to free the Africans. U.S. president Martin van Buren was another character. He was running for president again. John Quincy Adams was the ex-president and Cinque’s lawyer.

The conflict in the story was that Cinque and his group of kidnapped Africans revolted against the Spanish on the ship beacuse the Spanish wanted them to become slaves. The Africans killed the Spanish men on the ship. The Americans found them on the ship and took them to Connecticut. The Africans were blamed for murder. The court needed to decide if they murdered the white sailors on the ship, Amistad. But the Africans told the court they were kidnapped and defending themselves.

The resolution was they went to court three times. John Quincy Adams helped them in the Supreme Court and the Judges found them not guilty. The African became free. The Africans went home and found their homes was destroyed because of the civil war.

The part I will never forget is when the Africans became free.
