Amistad is a true and accurate story that's wholly suported by court documents.

Including the defense notes of lawyer John Adams.

Or do you accuse one of our Founding Fathers of suborning perjury like some third-rate ambulance chaser?

I never claimed Amistad did not happen, so do not place words in my mouth. I said the MOVIE distorted the reality, which it did when it did not tell the FULL story. The movie does not tell what happened to the blacks AFTER the trial. The ship, being engaged in illegal slavery trade, was declared a prize ship, and ownership was given to the man who captured it, the man who led the slave uprising. Even though he had been enslaved, and had lost his entire family to slavery, later became a successful man with that ship... transporting SLAVES. The book tells that part.. the movie does not.
