Lewis Tappan (Livres)

Lewis Tappan Livres

Lewis Tappan fut un abolitionniste de premier plan qui se consacra à obtenir la liberté d'Africains illégalement réduits en esclavage à bord de l'Amistad. Ses efforts concertés, y compris l'obtention d'avocats de haut calibre, conduisirent finalement à leur libération après une affaire historique devant la Cour suprême. Au-delà des victoires juridiques, Tappan mobilisa également le soutien public et collecta des fonds, aboutissant au retour organisé des survivants en Afrique. Il fut un fondateur clé de l'American Missionary Association, qui établit de nombreuses églises et institutions éducatives antiesclavagistes pour les affranchis après la guerre de Sécession.
