basically the amistad was a ship in which carried black slaves to the U.S to sell them as if they were property. the slaves were treated harshly during this time. The story of the amistad rebellion is about the time where on of the slave men manages to escape from the lower decks and sets free everyone. The slaves all get on the to deck were they slowly one by one started to attack the captain, cook and the white men which were in charge. So its about the black people escaping from there prison and taking over the ship , amistad.

How was the nat turner rebellion different from the amistad rebellion?

The Nat Turner Rebellion in 1831 was an uprising led by enslaved African Americans in Virginia, focused on a violent revolt to end slavery, resulting in the deaths of numerous white individuals and severe reprisals against the enslaved population. In contrast, the Amistad Rebellion in 1839 involved a group of enslaved Africans aboard the Spanish ship Amistad who revolted against their captors but aimed primarily at seeking freedom rather than a widespread insurrection. While Turner’s rebellion was a land-based uprising with a clear goal of emancipation through violent means, the Amistad case ultimately led to a legal battle in the U.S. courts, highlighting issues of rights and freedom rather than outright rebellion against a society.
