The story of organized concerned abolitionists
I do not pretend to be an historian but found the connection between this single saga and the abolitionist movement to be greater than just a cause celebre; it demonstrates how a few concerned people would take action because they cared for more than the cause.

This review is from: The Amistad Slave Revolt and American Abolition (Paperback)

I wonder if the "congregational members" noted on page 78 were members of the Church now identified as the Congregational United Church of Christ? With which of the Denominations were the Rev. Joshua Leavitt and the Rev. Simeon Jocelyn associated?
