Although Americans feel guilty about that piece of history, the power of the movie is not political correctness, the director is the athlete, not the referee. Can't be so one-sided and exaggerated.
I think in the historical background at that time, this incident will never be so vivid, but all parties have their reasonable reasons at the time, otherwise there will be no need to go through a long period of time, and must go through a bloody civil war to completely end Slavery.
Historical films are not easy to make, and this one is also not immune, despite being a great director.

Sadly and ironically, according to Wiki, there are rumors that Cinque may have later become a slave trader himself - something that historians dispute without clear evidence. Little is known of his later life, and rumors circulated. Some maintained that he had moved to Jamaica. Others held that he had become a merchant or a chief, perhaps trading in slaves himself.

Amistad quotes

  • John Quincy Adams: [to the court] Well, gentlemen, I must say I differ with the keen minds of the South and with our President, who apparently shares their views, offering that the natural state of mankind is instead - and I know this is a controversial idea - is freedom. Is freedom. And the proof is the length to which a man, woman or child will go to regain it once taken. He will break loose his chains. He will decimate his enemies. He will try and try and try, against all odds, against all prejudices, to get home.

  • US Secretary of State Forsyth: The only thing John Quincy Adams will be remembered for is his middle name.
