Fundamental Facts about



Maroons.



The Spanish were the first to introduce African slaves to Jamaica. Such individuals replaced the original servile labor force – the native Tainos, who had died of disease and overwork. When the Spanish were driven out of Jamaica by the British in 1655 many of their black chattels seized the opportunity to escape bondage and fled into the islands mountainous interior. Once there, they established villages (which periodically attracted runaway British slaves to their numbers) and became known as "maroons" (which comes from the Spanish word "Cimarron", meaning unruly or wild). English efforts to subdue the maroons were unsuccessful. Ultimately, in 1739 a deal was arranged whereby the maroons would be left alone in exchange for returning runaway slaves. This arrangement lasted for nearly fifty (50) years. In response to a rebellion in Western Jamaica, however, 1500 English troops were sent along with tracking dogs to round up some 300 maroons. Moreover, in an effort to end this nuisance once and for all, the government ordered the rebels deported to Nova Scotia, Canada. Later, some of these were allowed to go to Sierra Leone, Africa. Even more fascinating is the fact that after slavery ended in 1838 some maroon descendants/relatives returned to Jamaica as indentured servants. A maroon presence is seen today in four islands parishes – Trelawney, St. Elizabeth, Portland, and St. Mary. Further, they also are represented in the national parliament.
