""Argument of John Quincy Adams Before the Supreme Court of the U.S. in the Case of the U.S. vs. Cinque and Others, Africans Captured in the Schooner Amistad (1841)"" is a historical book written by John Quincy Adams. The book is a transcript of the argument made by Adams before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1841.
