1841 The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the freedom of the Amistad Africans. John Quincy Adams, who was nearly deaf at the time, had argued the case before the Supreme Court for 8 1/2 hours over a two-day period. The Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, Massachusetts, preserves the birthplace of the 6th president of the United States, as well as historical structures encompassing five generations of the Adams family (from 1720 to 1927). |
