Lewis Tappan

    Lewis Tappan fue un destacado abolicionista que se dedicó a conseguir la libertad de africanos ilegalmente esclavizados a bordo del Amistad. Sus intensos esfuerzos, incluida la obtención de abogados de primer nivel, llevaron finalmente a su liberación tras un caso histórico ante la Corte Suprema. Más allá de las victorias legales, Tappan también movilizó el apoyo público y la recaudación de fondos, culminando en el regreso organizado de los supervivientes a África. Fue un fundador clave de la American Missionary Association, que estableció numerosas iglesias y centros educativos antiesclavistas para los libertos después de la Guerra Civil.
