Joseph Cinque, Leader Amistad Slave Revolt
Joseph Cinque (1814, 1879) was a West African man of the Mende people who led a revolt of many Africans on the Spanish slave ship, La Amistad. After the ship was taken into custody by the United States Revenue Cutter Service, Cinque and his fellow Africans were eventually tried for killing officers on the ship, in a case known as United States v. The Amistad. The case reached the Supreme Court, where Cinque and his fellow Africans were found to have rightfully defended themselves from being enslaved through the illegal Atlantic slave trade and were released. Americans helped raise money for their return to Africa. Cinque and the other Africans reached their homeland in 1842. In Sierra Leone, Cinque was faced with civil war. He and his company maintained contact with the local mission for a while, but Cinque left to trade along the coast. Little is known of his later life. Painting by Nathaniel Jocelyn, 1840.
