NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER Baltimore, Jan. 22, 1842
* Creole slavery slaves case
* Ship insurrection - revolt - mutiny
Inside contains a lengthy & interesting report headed: "Protest", of the officers of the ship Creole, the slave ship upon which the slaves mutinied, a rather infamous event in American history.
The Creole case was the result of an American slave revolt in November, 1841 [erroneously noted as "November, 1842" in the report] on board the Creole, a ship involved in the United States slave trade. As 128 slaves gained freedom after the rebels ordered the ship sailed to Nassau, it has been termed the most successful slave revolt in US history. Two persons died as a result of the revolt, a black slave and a white slave trader (see hyperlink for more).
This report is extremely detailed and takes over 2 1/2 pages of text.
Complete in 16 pages, measures 8 1/2 by 12 inches, in very nice condition.
