No one should be in control of the lives of others, except God! Pleased to hear how those maroons fought for their lives. Thanks for this information because as an educator for years, I never heard of this part of Jamaica's history!
The Maroons origin story does not start and end with West Africa. When the enslaved Africans fled into the mountains and establish their communities there, they met upon the Tainos who were also taking refuge in the heavily vegetated rugged terrain. The Tainos were integral in the Maroon's success. They taught them special cooking methods, herbal medicine and secret routes to launch suprise attacks against the British. The Tainos and Maroons eventually merged so now many Maroons have Taino blood. Although nowadays almost no one can claim to be fully Taino, their legacy lives on in the Maroons.
Maroons are original black from Jamaica and all over Europe, Europe was not white before, The Africans help their white Children to take over Europe while they the are busy taking over the caribbean they succeed taking over Haiti some of them stayed in Jamaica and mix with us while making plan sending for the relative now they are saying that we are all from Africa and thats a lie the People leaving for Africa will be surprise at the end they are there to build Africa only to build Africa

Ok but where were they prior to that if it's even true? As far as my research and knowledge maroons are a mix of black Europeans including Iberians and black American Indian. Ashanti are not originally from Ghana . They have a history elsewhere nobody wants to learn more about. Did you know a lot of west African ppl are descendants of religious warfare warriors who fled Europe? Some are also descendants of the conquistadors who were SWARTHY.

It would be surprising to know the Spanish also brought maroons with them on their voyage to Jamaica and that they fought alongside the Spanish against the British upon their invasion of Jamaica. When the British captured Jamaica the maroons was now a fighting force not just in trelawney but across the hilly hinterlands. The maroons are not just escaped slaves, they are also remnants of the moors that traveled with the Spanish albeit in a subservient class. The moors were a conquered tribe in Spain prior to Spain's conquest of the Americas and became vassals to the Spanish

Umm, Nova Scotian here, one is never a day or two from the ocean. Ever. As for starvation the sea is right there and has always had the maritime's back.
Thank you for your comment. The point being made is less about the proximity of food, and more about the manpower it takes to feed thousands of people on a daily basis. While you may be close to food, harvesting, preparing, transporting, and distributing are all labour intensive activities. Imagine this now in a “colony” that has limited infrastructure, and a very small amount of people who can actually do the labour. You can still starve. We don’t often think about the work required to go from source to table, especially when there are thousands of hungry people involved. So yeah, the colonists could EASILY starve if not for compelled labour from “Maroons” and forced labour from the enslaved people in Nova Scotia.
1st of all what do they mean by 'maroon'? In Spanish it means brown reddish..however in English it became synonymous for "wild or feral" person. So it's more of an adjective than explaining who they were. Various sources give different origin stories so it's obvious the one aspect they had in common was their resistance to the imperialists back then. So where they are from is not important..these ppl were really "off grid" as we say today.
Thank you for your comment. “Maroon” in the context of the times simply refers to a person actively resisting the institution of slavery by escaping and opposing colonial forces, living communally, certainly “off grid” as you put it.
Unfortunately, the same Maroons would help to prolong slavery. They were responsible for returning runaway slaves, and quite often returned the dead for bounty. The Maroons, along with the Church Militia (a group led by an Anglican priest by the name of Bridges) were believed to have harassed the demonstrators organized by Sam Sharp. They also had a few slaves of their own. The Maroons who ended up being sent to Nova Scotia, were partly those who made Treaty with the former Colonial gov't to end the 2nd Maroon war. They were deceived after signing the treaty. A British officer who was embarrassed at the betrayal, broke his sword of honor, in protest. It should be of interest to note that the reason for the 2nd Maroon war was one of pride. Some young Maroon males were publicly whipped by British soldiers, in the presence of slaves, which was particularly humiliating to these young men.
@@Rockjamify I guess to them it was preserving their own freedom. It could be they were betrayed by the imperial forces who recognised their sovereign right to begin with.
@ryrilo5078 Well, they did secure a peace deal, albeit a limited one, with a reserved area of land for their community. However, what was in that treaty for those still in bondage until 1838?
Semara and Simarron, Coming from the Arawakan language adjective describing the flight of an arrow. Could give some merit to Jamaicans condensing to the fastest people on earth. Carib is more appropriate, as I can prove documentation of Carib Indian families still in the island ( prob renamed coolies to confuse them).
@@azborderlands It's seems to me you have no idea the difference between Afrikans, Afrikaans, and Afrikaners . Following your comments make it very clear you have no idea.
Nice! Actually the word "maroon" or "maron," as it was called in the French colonies, described runaway slaves. Those slaves would escaped to the mountains of Haiti/Jamaica and battle the Europeans/slaveowners. I used Haiti because that was where the maroons were able to mount a viable revolution which led to an independent black nation in 1804. That being said, maroons are not a tribe or a nation. It was a word used by slaveowners to describe runaway slaves.
Where there Maroon tribes in the Middle East and North Africa? That slave trade existed only until recently. though many reports show that there are more slaves in Africa than at the height of the Trans Atlantic trade. Are there active Maroon tribes?
@@patrickturner2788 Im wondering if any current groups in the Sahara or Middle East today are from those groups or if they have any recently enslaved within them. Those are the people that Industrialized worlds should be helping directly, not urban gimme-gimme's.

Actually, there were no Jamaaican dollars back yhen, it was Pound, Shillings & Pence. Jamaican gained independence from Britain in 1962 and from there on changed the currency to Jamaican Dollars. Good narrative of the story though. It wasn't illegal to move enslaved people from their Country of origin to other parts of the world but in today's norm it's illegal for people to seek refuge in many countries around the wirld; especially North America and Europe.😮
Thats crazy. Sir Wentworth was talking from a political standpoint i believe. How can someone , anybody expect a group of humans to abandon theur religious and spiritual beliefs? Disrespect?????
If the maroons were indigenous to jamaica and not taken from africa like many want to claim, then why is their main language coramante, an Akan language from ghana, tell me how come then??
Spain did not get slaves from west Africa they took them from yhe Iberian peninsula. The slave trade never started yet when Spain discovered (so they claim) the west 🇯🇲🇯🇲
@@azborderlands In today's New English Maroon means stuck on a island or something to that nature. But back then it literally means Kanaka or Chestnut Brown Men or Dark Red complexion.👍 Trust me I know this word in many Indo-languages. Kanaka is Mother Indien "Negro".
@@azborderlands Instead of Maroons you could say Dunklerot "Dark Reds" or Donkerrood, or Moriaan Indians or Negroes or Kanaka, or Orang Hitam "Black People", or Coloureds or Habsji, or Multiracials, or Mélange, or Mors or Moors, or Mauren, or Mohren, or South Sea People, or Oceanic People, or people of the Indien Ocean or Indiens or Indiaans...🧐👍
@@azborderlands In Spainish the word Maroon is Granate hence Granada Spain means Black Spain. And then there is Grenada Caribbean meaning Black Karib... Spainish people were called Granate "Blacks or Kanaka". If you recall the Spainish were the Moors meaning Negroes. Spainish means Hebrews. But if you Google the word you will see this below which is false: The word maroon, first recorded in English in 1666, is by varying accounts taken from the French word marron, which translates to “runaway black slave,” or the American/Spanish cimarrón, which means “wild runaway slave,” “the beast who cannot be tamed,” or “living on mountaintops.” The Spanish originally used the word
@@azborderlands Granada Spain in New English would be Black Hebrews.🧐👍 If you recall they played a major role in the slave trade. It was Black Supremacy and ran by Free Masons. Now analyze the word Free Masons which is New English for Freimaureri. Break the word apart Frei meaning Free. Maurer meaning Blacks. Freimaurer means Free Blacks. Hence Schwarzer Ritter meaning Black Knights or Noble Devils was the Black Eagle Armies "Schwarzer Adler". Blacks were the European Military therefore the original Free Masons which also means Black hand Work.👍 Negro is a term for Black Europeans known as Aprikaanse.
The Banishment of Maroons to the artic region of Canada was a punishment, because the believe that they would not survive in that harsh frigid environment that was 1776, today , I believe that Jamaican is face with the same situation, because the Jamaican people and there leaders have sold the whole Island from right under there feet, to racist foreigners and become landless the owners of the Island one day can simply decide they want Jamaican off there land , they can banish to far away land like Siberia ,to make sure they die or never return to Jamaica, which I believe is a punishment for wickedness.
Interesting story. Reference to the video, how did Christianity came about then since blacks were first introduced to Christianity, despite the characteristics of blacks were mentioned in the Bible ?
Thanks for your comment. Christianity is mentioned just for the purpose of retelling the story. The Maroons were not Christians. And that’s ok. Unless I misunderstand your question?

lol maroon is not the name of an ethnicity smh.. they came from the underground railways.. the Ashanti are who you called maroons. Why don’t other race have nick names???
Its important to know that Tainos and Maroons are distinct people groups. The Taino lived in Jamaica for thousand of year prior to colonization and had lived all over Jamaica. When the African enslaved ppl fought agasint the spanish and british and retreated into the mountains, they met the Tainos. The two ppls merged so nowadays many maroons have Taino blood. I think calling Maroons indigenous without recognising the history adds to the erasure of the Taino ppl.
@@antwainclarke3406what? That's pan African theory. Where's the proof? Maroon are Moors from Europe. The ppl you calling African are migrants from Europe. Ashanti are not even from Ghana. Iberia blackamoors conquistador more like it

This deffienatly sounds like another new misleading way of watering down the Jamaican history, and leaving out a lot of important facts, while infusing LIES as facts.... 1st, there is no race of people leaving West Africa called Maroons.... 2ndly, your Maroon knowledge is lacking, confusing and sound inherited, and you left out that during the 1400-60, Ethiopian commandos captured in Eritrea by the Italian army, was sold to the Pirates from Port Royal, Jamaica, and were released on arrival as a conquored race, they went interior, and lived with the Tianos...By 1492 they saw Columbus came, then the war with Spain and England, then came the 1500s and they saw West Africans coming in shackles as Slaves, then sold to Plantation owners from America.....You also forgot to state that the Docile west African were sold, and the more hostile Ashanties were left back, who eventually ran away to join the new Ethiopian/Tianos, living in the hills...who know saw the horrors of Slavery and joind the war against it, ...1st, by walking underground in tunnels and caves from Morant Point, Jamaica, to Haiti, training and joining Tussant in the freedom of hati, Then they started a war at sea against the French Navy, distroying them, and the Slave traders they procted, and returing many ships to west Africa, you have not told them that they planted the Diplomat Harriet Tubman to run the underground railway that would take them North to Nova Scocia, which they had also Liberated ....and when that was a success, they returned to Jamaica and intensified the local slavery war and the expulsion of Willie Lynch...Yes, the Commando style Ethiopian gurellia warfare was strange and merciless to some West Africans too, yet effective, who were now war tired, and became Traitors against Jamaican freedom fighters and betrayed everything and are now called agents of the Crown of Englad....Why have they left out that Nova Scotia was Liberated by the Jamaican War Maroons, not these that they sent...but out of the ash came the last Ethiopian, born in Jamaica High Priest, initiating Lenard Howel, who Initiated Marcus Garvey ... WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP REWRITING THE HISTORY OF A PEOPLE TO MAKE YOU LOOK THE VICTOR....??... This " STORY" is worst than Clinton Black's History of Jamaica.
@@alkebulanman3280 Your account bears truth. They also relate the Anancy stories, which is of the Akan culture. Even the original Leeward Maroon Chief's name of Cudjoe is the day in the week that he was born, or Monday. That was a tradition of the Akan people of West Africa. Some Maroons speak an African language known as Coromante, further proof of an African origin.

1st of all what do they mean by 'maroon'? In Spanish it means brown reddish..however in English it became synonymous for "wild or feral" person. So it's more of an adjective than explaining who they were. Various sources give different origin stories so it's obvious the one aspect they had in common was their resistance to the imperialists back then. So where they are from is not important..these ppl were really "off grid" as we say today.
Thank you for your comment.
“Maroon” in the context of the times simply refers to a person actively resisting the institution of slavery by escaping and opposing colonial forces, living communally, certainly “off grid” as you put it.
Unfortunately, the same Maroons would help to prolong slavery. They were responsible for returning runaway slaves, and quite often returned the dead for bounty. The Maroons, along with the Church Militia (a group led by an Anglican priest by the name of Bridges) were believed to have harassed the demonstrators organized by Sam Sharp. They also had a few slaves of their own.
The Maroons who ended up being sent to Nova Scotia, were partly those who made Treaty with the former Colonial gov't to end the 2nd Maroon war. They were deceived after signing the treaty. A British officer who was embarrassed at the betrayal, broke his sword of honor, in protest.
It should be of interest to note that the reason for the 2nd Maroon war was one of pride. Some young Maroon males were publicly whipped by British soldiers, in the presence of slaves, which was particularly humiliating to these young men.
@@Rockjamify I guess to them it was preserving their own freedom. It could be they were betrayed by the imperial forces who recognised their sovereign right to begin with.
@ryrilo5078
Well, they did secure a peace deal, albeit a limited one, with a reserved area of land for their community. However, what was in that treaty for those still in bondage until 1838?
Semara and Simarron, Coming from the Arawakan language adjective describing the flight of an arrow. Could give some merit to Jamaicans condensing to the fastest people on earth. Carib is more appropriate, as I can prove documentation of Carib Indian families still in the island ( prob renamed coolies to confuse them).
Maroon = Indigenous.
Maroon is literally african.
Thank you maroons are indigenous people of America

Right! Gots to be more to the story
Jamaican maroons are the sell outs because of that British treaty. They captured slaves for the slavers. All the others maroons stood on business.
Nice! Actually the word "maroon" or "maron," as it was called in the French colonies, described runaway slaves. Those slaves would escaped to the mountains of Haiti/Jamaica and battle the Europeans/slaveowners. I used Haiti because that was where the maroons were able to mount a viable revolution which led to an independent black nation in 1804. That being said, maroons are not a tribe or a nation. It was a word used by slaveowners to describe runaway slaves.
Where there Maroon tribes in the Middle East and North Africa? That slave trade existed only until recently. though many reports show that there are more slaves in Africa than at the height of the Trans Atlantic trade. Are there active Maroon tribes?
@@patrickturner2788 Im wondering if any current groups in the Sahara or Middle East today are from those groups or if they have any recently enslaved within them. Those are the people that Industrialized worlds should be helping directly, not urban gimme-gimme's.

The Maroons could never have been deported in 1876. Slavery ended in the early 1830s.
Good catch. Think you might be referring to 4:40. Should be 1796.

Actually, there were no Jamaaican dollars back yhen, it was Pound, Shillings & Pence. Jamaican gained independence from Britain in 1962 and from there on changed the currency to Jamaican Dollars. Good narrative of the story though. It wasn't illegal to move enslaved people from their Country of origin to other parts of the world but in today's norm it's illegal for people to seek refuge in many countries around the wirld; especially North America and Europe.😮
Maroon is a derogatory term for run away slaves.
Not in Jamaica it isnt
@@antwainclarke3406 I know they actually think it’s an ethic group
That might be how you use the word, you might want to check a dictionary
Whatever definition you choose it’s still a runaway slave not an ethnic group
How can it be? They took their freedom by running away from the slave masters. They are heroes.🤔
Jamaican Work on youtube!
Thats crazy. Sir Wentworth was talking from a political standpoint i believe. How can someone , anybody expect a group of humans to abandon theur religious and spiritual beliefs? Disrespect?????
Don't forget Maroons are Hebrew Israelites. They are not Hamites.
Brittain has broken every treaty they sign
If the maroons were indigenous to jamaica and not taken from africa like many want to claim, then why is their main language coramante, an Akan language from ghana, tell me how come then??
Spain did not get slaves from west Africa they took them from yhe Iberian peninsula. The slave trade never started yet when Spain discovered (so they claim) the west 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I was just told by a cousin that our Grand mother. Was a maroon. Therefore( no disrestpect?) Indeginous and Maroons. should go hand in hand. Thanks.
The maroon or the British militia fight Arawak for 90 years until today Jews fight Hebrews still
Maroon is another word for Kanaks therefore they are no different from Hawaiian Kanakas.
It means Chestnut Brown Indians or Dark Red Skins.👍
Maroon can be a colour in English, but it also means people stuck on an island like Gilligans island.
@@azborderlands In today's New English Maroon means stuck on a island or something to that nature.
But back then it literally means Kanaka or Chestnut Brown Men or Dark Red complexion.👍
Trust me I know this word in many Indo-languages.
Kanaka is Mother Indien "Negro".
@@azborderlands Instead of Maroons you could say Dunklerot "Dark Reds" or Donkerrood, or Moriaan Indians or Negroes or Kanaka, or Orang Hitam "Black People", or Coloureds or Habsji, or Multiracials, or Mélange, or Mors or Moors, or Mauren, or Mohren, or South Sea People, or Oceanic People, or people of the Indien Ocean or Indiens or Indiaans...🧐👍
@@azborderlands In Spainish the word Maroon is Granate hence Granada Spain means Black Spain.
And then there is Grenada Caribbean meaning Black Karib...
Spainish people were called Granate "Blacks or Kanaka".
If you recall the Spainish were the Moors meaning Negroes.
Spainish means Hebrews.
But if you Google the word you will see this below which is false:
The word maroon, first recorded in English in 1666, is by varying accounts taken from the French word marron, which translates to “runaway black slave,” or the American/Spanish cimarrón, which means “wild runaway slave,” “the beast who cannot be tamed,” or “living on mountaintops.” The Spanish originally used the word
@@azborderlands Granada Spain in New English would be Black Hebrews.🧐👍
If you recall they played a major role in the slave trade.
It was Black Supremacy and ran by Free Masons.
Now analyze the word Free Masons which is New English for Freimaureri.
Break the word apart Frei meaning Free.
Maurer meaning Blacks.
Freimaurer means Free Blacks.
Hence Schwarzer Ritter meaning Black Knights or Noble Devils was the Black Eagle Armies "Schwarzer Adler".
Blacks were the European Military therefore the original Free Masons which also means Black hand Work.👍
Negro is a term for Black Europeans known as Aprikaanse.
Maroons are Israelites
The Banishment of Maroons to the artic region of Canada was a punishment, because the believe that they would not survive in that harsh frigid environment that was 1776, today , I believe that Jamaican is face with the same situation, because the Jamaican people and there leaders have sold the whole Island from right under there feet, to racist foreigners and become landless the owners of the Island one day can simply decide they want Jamaican off there land , they can banish to far away land like Siberia ,to make sure they die or never return to Jamaica, which I believe is a punishment for wickedness.
Interesting story. Reference to the video, how did Christianity came about then since blacks were first introduced to Christianity, despite the characteristics of blacks were mentioned in the Bible ?
Thanks for your comment.
Christianity is mentioned just for the purpose of retelling the story. The Maroons were not Christians. And that’s ok.
Unless I misunderstand your question?
@darksethistory in that case everything was mentioned to capture the story but your reply still didn't answer the question.
Thanks for your reply. Ok let us know your question again so everyone can discuss here. I want to understand

It had to be British currency as Jamaican currency did not exist

Replace the word Maroon with Indigenous... there you go.
Its important to know that Tainos and Maroons are distinct people groups. The Taino lived in Jamaica for thousand of year prior to colonization and had lived all over Jamaica. When the African enslaved ppl fought agasint the spanish and british and retreated into the mountains, they met the Tainos. The two ppls merged so nowadays many maroons have Taino blood. I think calling Maroons indigenous without recognising the history adds to the erasure of the Taino ppl.
Don't care about them right now. The video is about Africans
@@antwainclarke3406what? That's pan African theory. Where's the proof?
Maroon are Moors from Europe. The ppl you calling African are migrants from Europe. Ashanti are not even from Ghana.

I am a Jamaican and my respect for the maroons is pretty much nil 📉. They sold our forefathers for 30 shillings
The Akans sold them to British and in return the jamaican maroons descendants of Akan and indigenous peoples sold blacks to British for a stupid treaty.

Cuckoo birds cuckoo birds 😂😂😂😂😂
These Maroons were prisoners of war!! Maroons were indigenous to Jamaica not West Africa!

Sorry but that is 💯 wrong. The indigenous and the Africans are 2 that mixed there.
@@azborderlands No Afrikans were ever hired into slavery only Negroes.
Maroons are the indigenous Yahua Indians"Negroes" and are no different than Hawaiian Kanaka.🧐
Kanaka and Maroon are the same words in different Indo languages.
They came from weat Africa gold coast, present day Ghana
Yep both sell outs
This deffienatly sounds like another new misleading way of watering down the Jamaican history, and leaving out a lot of important facts, while infusing LIES as facts.... 1st, there is no race of people leaving West Africa called Maroons.... 2ndly, your Maroon knowledge is lacking, confusing and sound inherited, and you left out that during the 1400-60, Ethiopian commandos captured in Eritrea by the Italian army, was sold to the Pirates from Port Royal, Jamaica, and were released on arrival as a conquored race, they went interior, and lived with the Tianos...By 1492 they saw Columbus came, then the war with Spain and England, then came the 1500s and they saw West Africans coming in shackles as Slaves, then sold to Plantation owners from America.....You also forgot to state that the Docile west African were sold, and the more hostile Ashanties were left back, who eventually ran away to join the new Ethiopian/Tianos, living in the hills...who know saw the horrors of Slavery and joind the war against it, ...1st, by walking underground in tunnels and caves from Morant Point, Jamaica, to Haiti, training and joining Tussant in the freedom of hati, Then they started a war at sea against the French Navy, distroying them, and the Slave traders they procted, and returing many ships to west Africa, you have not told them that they planted the Diplomat Harriet Tubman to run the underground railway that would take them North to Nova Scocia, which they had also Liberated ....and when that was a success, they returned to Jamaica and intensified the local slavery war and the expulsion of Willie Lynch...Yes, the Commando style Ethiopian gurellia warfare was strange and merciless to some West Africans too, yet effective, who were now war tired, and became Traitors against Jamaican freedom fighters and betrayed everything and are now called agents of the Crown of Englad....Why have they left out that Nova Scotia was Liberated by the Jamaican War Maroons, not these that they sent...but out of the ash came the last Ethiopian, born in Jamaica High Priest, initiating Lenard Howel, who Initiated Marcus Garvey ... WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP REWRITING THE HISTORY OF A PEOPLE TO MAKE YOU LOOK THE VICTOR....??... This " STORY" is worst than Clinton Black's History of Jamaica.
nonsense. they went willingly

Not true. Maroons still live in Jamaica, using many Akan words in their vocabulary.
Exactly ...our language is FULL of African words, mostly Akan you American fool! Don't tell us what we are because no one bothered to teach you!
@@alkebulanman3280
Your account bears truth. They also relate the Anancy stories, which is of the Akan culture. Even the original Leeward Maroon Chief's name of Cudjoe is the day in the week that he was born, or Monday. That was a tradition of the Akan people of West Africa. Some Maroons speak an African language known as Coromante, further proof of an African origin.
@@Rockjamify True words! Some people who say these things do not realize that the people themselves ARE the "facts on the ground". They need to dig deeper! Bless up!!!

It's a shame that these so ccalled historians haven't done research about the indigenous blacks of jamaica. They only repeat European text that was given to them.
Most so called blacks of jamaica are not from Africa but they are indigenous to the America's.

Where is your source for saying that the majority of the population of Jamaica are indigenous to the island?
In addition, in your view, what reason is there to “hide” the fact that most of the inhabitants of Jamaica are not from Africa? Who would hide this info, and what do they stand to gain, in your opinion? Lmk your thoughts
They may have been the first in the Americas but their prehistoric ancestors migrated out of prehistoric Africa!
Jamaicans are fr west africa,and that's it were u the one the put Jamaicans in america,let me tell u my culture is the same as my brothers and sisters in west africa mainly ghana and nigeria,we learn their ways fr our ancestors,the black Americans loose the African culture because they adapt the western culture,so if we Jamaicans were fr america, our culture would be the same as theirs,everybody has their own theories,some knows nothing about their own history and yet they want to tell others stories
Who cares?
All except a small 5% did not come from Africa but were here already in the western hemisphere as the Atlantic slave trade brought 5% to the west

Assuming that what you are saying is true, What is the incentive for this info being “hidden” as it were?
