Lewis Tappan

    Lewis Tappan fu un eminente abolizionista che si dedicò a garantire la libertà degli africani illegalmente schiavizzati a bordo dell'Amistad. I suoi sforzi mirati, inclusa l'acquisizione di consulenza legale di alto livello, portarono infine alla loro liberazione dopo un caso epocale presso la Corte Suprema. Oltre alle vittorie legali, Tappan mobilitò anche il sostegno pubblico e la raccolta fondi, culminando nel ritorno organizzato dei sopravvissuti in Africa. Fu un fondatore chiave dell'American Missionary Association, che istituì numerose chiese e istituti educativi antischiavisti per i liberati dopo la Guerra Civile.
