She liked a lot to dance and to jump on her bed. She was pretty immature to be a queen. I would have not idea of what to do or how many power I would have being the king of Spain at that age. She was burn in Madrid on 1830.
Martin Van Buren was the president of the United States. He was the president at the time that the United States was suffering a very bad economy and when the Africans arrived to the U.S. Slavery was illegal at that time in the South of the United States but slaves were legal on the north. Martin Van Buren didn't really cared about slavery. He wasn't in favor neither against it.
Roger Baldwin was a lawyer helping the African Slaves. He wanted the slaves to be free and did great help to achieve this. Roger Baldwin argues that the African slaves were sold to America illegally. With a hidden paper on the amistad ship, he proves that the slaves were initially cargo from a Portuguese ship named Tecora. That means that the Africans were not slaves at all.
