Who led the amistad incident?

The Amistad incident was led by a group of enslaved Africans, most notably Joseph Cinqué (also known as Sengbe Pieh), who was the ship's spokesperson. In 1839, they revolted against their captors aboard the Spanish slave ship La Amistad, ultimately taking control of the vessel. Their quest for freedom led to a significant legal battle in the United States, which highlighted issues of slavery and human rights.
