Answer 1

The historical figures of Joseph Cinque, Nat Turner, Paul Cuffe, Amistad, Denmark Vesey, and John Quincy Adams are matched with their appropriate historical acts or descriptions related to slave revolts and the abolitionist movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's match the historical figures with the correct descriptions:

1. Amistad was the leader of the captives on the Spanish slave ship Amistad, which they took over. His case was later defended by John Quincy Adams before the Supreme Court.
2. Joseph Cinque led a revolt of about seventy fellow enslaved people, which resulted in the death of several dozen white people and the eventual retaliation against African Americans.
3. Paul Cuffe was a ship owner who was known for transporting freed black people to Africa as part of the early back-to-Africa movement.
4. The case of the Amistad was indeed the one defended by John Quincy Adams, making him the correct match with the ship and event.
5. Denmark Vesey was a carpenter in South Carolina who planned a revolt of enslaved people.
6. John Quincy Adams was an ardent defender of the enslaved people aboard the Amistad and believed in the inherent right of every human to freedom.
