Actually, the Moors and Maroons are the same people, sharing a common lineage traced back to Israel. As you mentioned, the term "Moors," meaning "black," was not native to the Maghreb, North East Africa, or Arabia. Similarly, there are Hamitic Berbers and Semitic Berbers. The Semitic Berbers, along with most Moors, were dispersed Israelites from the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian-Mede, Greek, and Roman captivities. Many of them converted to Islam during the rise of Muslim rule in that region. Notably, many Moors, like Tariq who conquered the Iberian Peninsula, were Israelites. This history can be found in several vintage books, as contemporary accounts have been deliberately corrupted during the Renaissance whitewashing period.
@sbf254 Bro I think your research is corrupted, check the facts and come back, the Moors, has nothing to do with the maroons, The 'Black Moors you are referring to is totally different, don't let them brainwash you, all the info is in the video so do some research. Kl

@Elitejamaica, while i do appreciate your content im going to shed light on a few things surrounding this topic. This is not to discredit you in anyway but just for having clarity on a few areas relating to the maroons. the history goes a little deeper than that. Firstly you need to understand the complexity of the precolonial era. Spain became a racial admixture as the north africans conquered and colonize Hispana/Iberian peninsula (modern day portugal and spain) for nearly 800yrs. Thus we should not look at the spanish as purely white but a group consist of a racial admixture of melanated people, jews and Caucasians. The ethnically European (notably those of germanic ancestry - Monarchs of Europe and the catholic, joined forces to finally overcome and conquered the moors and the Jews. Note the reconquesta started around 722, thats 11 yrs or so after the muslim started their conquest of Iberia. The reconquesta ended in 1492 the same year Spain began their western voyage and expansion in the western world but note portugal already became a separate and established state by the 1100s as they by then defeated the moors. Additionally, portugal not spain, was the "first european" power to usher in the slavery of people of an african ancestry this started with the overthrow of the moors in Iberia. Note when the moors where in power they extensively slaved ethnic iberians who were caucasians. Note the Moors civilized much of southern europe by exposing them to new technologies, including navigational skills and ship building techniques. When the moors got expelled from Hispana many became slaves to the monarchs and the catholics of europe while some became servants of a noble class and drafted into the society as their technical skills were highly valued (similar to what happened in germany after world war). It is said that Spain brought african slaves to hispaniola in 1501 and to jamaica around 1509. This would be 9 to 17 yrs between discovery and first transport of slaves. Yet spain first voyage from africa to the jamaica was around 1523. Note that with the conquest of the moors portugal was actively shipping slaves from mauritania to iberia in around 1441 and was supplying spain with slaves. The first set of african slaves to jamaica was not directly from mainland africa but from spanish owned canary islands. The expulsion of the moors out of spain also seen some going into slavery in the Caribbean. Slavery in Jamaica primarily involved two colonizing forces the Spanish and the British. The Spanish initially enslaved the indigenous people or Tainos , then people of african ancestry (moors and later on west africans). You may think the moors present in the Americas as slaves is far fetch and highly improbable but i ask of you to look at it again. Additionally, you can research the presents of muslims or moors in colonial jamaica and look up the slaves narrative written in arabic here in jamaica. It exist but not much is known to the public about these people. British arrival to the island in then 1600s is a result of the Jews who were present on the island (see black jews in jamaica). Remember the reconquesta which was the precursor to the spanish inquisition. The Jews on the island felt oppressed under spanish rule and as such secretly plotted the overthrow of the spanish on the island with british forces. The persons who became the maroons where a mixture of all people who were with the spanish under spanish rule. It was not purely african as many thought. Addtionally many identified with the spanish culture as noted with their names and social structure. The new colonial power the British was seen as invaders by the initial colonizers (spanish) and its associates who were now marooned in the interior of the island as the british took over majority of the coastal lands. For years the spanish or maroons (remember they are a mixed set) raided the british plantations and raged war against the british. This was not done to free the african slaves under british enslavement but was an attempt to regain control of the island from the British. They only gave up the efforts to when "Jaun de bolas" joined the british. Remember Juan de bolas was an early maroon leader whom fought the british for years before sided with the british and becoming the initial black militia group. This started internal feuds among maroon groups. So much the opposition force led by Juan de silas hunted Juan de bolas and his group for years. The complexity surrounding the maroon wars goes deep as many historians obly seems to highlight the maroons war agains the british while shedding little to no light on the internal conflicts among the maroon groups. As you rightful noted the maroons came under british rulership (progresively overtime) and laws as noted in the trial and prosecution of the maroons found guilty for theft of pigs and their punishment which sparked the trelawny maroon wars and their banishment to Nova scotia in Canada (another british colony) and then to Seirra Leone. All funded by the british crown. Remember these africans were not killed and this was a period of slavery. It was also noted that many maroons could read and write and was quite aware of the english vernacular both oral and written. I am no scholar at this but like you im reading and researching. The journey continues.
Also watch this video as I must say to everyone, your ancestors from various ancient kingdoms in western Europe, Ireland Scotland, Wales Native American Native Jamaicans. I know this sounds crazy but slavery was never about race or skin complexion. It was the religious war between Moors Jews all black peoples vs The Roman Catholic Empire of Spain. The were expelled to various parts of Europe as refugees and were transported to all the colonies as either refugees or prisoners of wars, convicts, beggars, homeless kidnap victims especially children, some volunteered, indentured themselves to escape death or conviction to serve their times. A very special groups and famous people were sent to Jamaica such as the survivors of Jacobite Wars in Scotland, Noble families and military personnel and families. Most don’t know Jamaica wars once under military dictatorship for a short time as the last Moorish Kingdom of Spain fell in 1492, The Kingdom of Grenada. Columbus was a Sephardic Jews, black man, and his crew were Moors and other Jews who’re forced to convert to Catholic or face death or slavery. Most slaves in Spanish colonies were either Captured Moors, and Jews from Spain the Called Landinos and Natives predominantly and they were force converting them all to Catholicism , slaver or death. Many were rowing ships across the Atlantic never to be seen again. Read Dum Diversas 1452 Papal Bull Great contents as usual and keep it up.

It’s worth looking into the Moors connection, from what I’ve learned many were enslaved and traveled with Columbus to the americas.

I am always fascinated by the history of the Maroons of Jamaica...In the 80's and 90's some Primary school text book had passages such as Nanny Town ..Nanny And The RedCoats..Today you don't find these books Caribbean Readers in print anymore..Don't know if they are found in Jamaica but they are not found on my island
But @Alex you could not say the Tanos was the first ppl to jam you contradicting yourself, because you said that another group of people was here hundred of years before the Tanos, I would love for you to do a research on those people, thank you bless up
Yes that was a mistake thanks for pointing that out, there is not alot of information about the ostanoid people however I did a video on this a while back, Titled: Jamaica in Jesus's days.
@@EliteJamaica I will definitely listen to that video, but why the establishment pushed this tanos narrative, that they be the indigenous to jam, because if there were other people before them... How can we say they the tanos are first... I think it's time for the truth .. I love what you are doing, I would also love for you to do a video about port royal in the BC ERA, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE
This video is why Jamaica can’t get better. How are we West African when the same colonizers call you a West Indian. The Spanish didn’t kill the Tainos with weapons and disease like he said they killed them with the pen. Tell you that you’re African when they know you Indian. My family still have Indian roots we never forgot but everyone else who got thought compulsory education did. Like the narrator of the vid. Also when the British came to Jamaica it was already called Jamaica the Spanish pronounced it Ha-my-Ca. They still call Jamaica Ha-my-ca. The British also changed our identity so much now we Afro Jamaicans on google. Bob Marley was a mulatto. My grandmother was a mustafina, my aunties are mustee. Go look up those words and you’ll see that we are not African
The transatlantic slave trade to Jamaica was started by the Spanish. Spain was the first European power to colonize Jamaica after Christopher Columbus arrived in 1494. The Spanish enslaved Indigenous people on the island, but as their population declined, they began importing enslaved Africans to work on plantations and in other labor-intensive industries. The Portuguese were also involved in the broader transatlantic slave trade, but it was Spain that first brought enslaved Africans to Jamaica before the island was later taken over by the British in 1655. Did you know that many indigenous people were taken from Jamaica also as captives.
Is maroons are European moors Sephardi Jews n Arawak mix with Irish Scottish n Ghanaian , we were never slaves and we were partners with the British as queen Isobel was both are enemy , we were the people who had trading ports in Brazil Columbia b Peru after been kick out of Spain n Portugal , the British offered us Jamaica as a deal to join n fight the common enemy the Spanish 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🇯🇲
As I said in the video the maroons are basically runaway 'slaves'. However the Taínos and Arawaks are Amerindians because they are part of the broader group of Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The term "Amerindian" generally refers to the native peoples of North, Central, and South America, including the Caribbean. The Taínos were a subgroup of the Arawaks, who were part of the larger Amerindian group.
Bro, I must correct you one a few points. The Maroons were Muslim moors from Spain that came with Catholics, / other converted Sephardic Jews and Moors. It’s a long complicated story but get this book who were fleeing the Roman Catholic Persecution after the war. This is why most Maroons had European names and Nanny is indigenous Native to Jamaica and not West African including many others. Jewish Pirates of The Caribbean by Edward Kritzler
1/2 truths, misconceptions and deceptions are pervasive in this presentation. I normally watch your presentations, in fact I am subscribed but you seem to have an agenda which does not serve our true history. I am disappointed.
@@EliteJamaica uhm, it's ok. Respectfully, in this video the information was scattered, to me anyway, sorry. Consistenly, questionable narratives are put forward, while our people's true History 2 Now remains hidden. Again just my opinion..we can agree to disagree🙂
The separation of the Maroon history from that of the Moors, while appropriate for the discussion here, pronouncing the conclusion that they are Totally Separate Chronicles is misinformed. The entire history of enslavement on the continent is saturated with Moorish engagement into the eras relevant to your discussion. The role of islam in slavery as both Slaver and the driving force Against slavery is epitomised by Dutty Bookman. So while I do not disagree with their separation within the conversation, your conclusion on the matter is problematic.
I understand and that's why there will be an update, in historical research sometimes this happens, plus I learn from you the subscribers also. Thanks for your feedback

Industrial Revolution iron method ‘was taken from Jamaica by Briton’
Wrought iron process that drove UK success was appropriated from black metallurgists, records suggest
Hannah Devlin Science correspondent
Wed 5 Jul 2023 07.00 BST
An innovation that propelled Britain to become the world’s leading iron exporter during the Industrial Revolution was appropriated from an 18th-century Jamaican foundry, historical records suggest.
The Cort process, which allowed wrought iron to be mass-produced from scrap iron for the first time, has long been attributed to the British financier turned ironmaster Henry Cort. It helped launch Britain as an economic superpower and transformed the face of the country with “iron palaces”, including Crystal Palace, Kew Gardens’ Temperate House and the arches at St Pancras train station.
Now, an analysis of correspondence, shipping records and contemporary newspaper reports reveals the innovation was first developed by 76 black Jamaican metallurgists at an ironworks near Morant Bay, Jamaica. Many of these metalworkers were enslaved people trafficked from west and central Africa, which had thriving iron-working industries at the time.
Dr Jenny Bulstrode, a lecturer in history of science and technology at University College London (UCL) and author of the paper, said: “This innovation kicks off Britain as a major iron producer and … was one of the most important innovations in the making of the modern world.”
The technique was patented by Cort in the 1780s and he is widely credited as the inventor, with the Times lauding him as “father of the iron trade” after his death. The latest research presents a different narrative, suggesting Cort shipped his machinery - and the fully fledged innovation - to Portsmouth from a Jamaican foundry that was forcibly shut down.
The Jamaican ironworks was owned by a white enslaver, John Reeder, who in correspondence described himself as “quite ignorant” of iron manufacturing, noting that the 76 black metallurgists who ran the foundry were “perfect in every branch of the iron manufactory”, and, through their skill, could turn scrap and poor-quality metal into valuable wrought iron.
Some of these workers are named in records, and include Devonshire, Mingo, Mingo’s son, Friday, Captain Jack, Matt, George, Jemmy, Jackson, Will, Bob, Guy, Kofi and Kwasi.
Their innovation came after the workers introduced the use of grooved rollers into the foundry to mechanise the formerly laborious process of hammering out impurities from low-quality iron. The same kind of grooved rollers were used in Jamaican sugar mills.
“It’s like a mechanical alchemy,” said Bulstrode. “You’re taking essentially rubbish and turning it into something of very high value through this process.”

The British also changed our identity so much now we Afro Jamaicans on google. Bob Marley was a mulatto. My grandmother was a mustafina, my aunties are mustee. Go look up those words and you’ll see that we are not African

Where did DeBolas come from...
Was he a deported Moor?
Maroon means abandoned, castaway ,runaways
THEY WERE MAROONED IN HILLS BY THEMSELVES. THUS THE NAME THE MAROONS.
Who started the transatlantic slave trade to Jamaica, is it spain😢or Portugal?
The transatlantic slave trade to Jamaica was started by the Spanish. Spain was the first European power to colonize Jamaica after Christopher Columbus arrived in 1494. The Spanish enslaved Indigenous people on the island, but as their population declined, they began importing enslaved Africans to work on plantations and in other labor-intensive industries. The Portuguese were also involved in the broader transatlantic slave trade, but it was Spain that first brought enslaved Africans to Jamaica before the island was later taken over by the British in 1655. Did you know that many indigenous people were taken from Jamaica also as captives.
@EliteJamaica do you if there was any inbreeding between the African and the indigenous people?
To some degree, as the record states.... however I can't confirm if Nanny’s Mother was indigenous or African.
@malachkmalcom6328 inbreeding is between relatives. You mean if they mixed.
@annmariebusu9924 yea that's what he meant, but I understood, thanks for noticing. Stay blessed
Some of them help the colonizers capture our brothers and sisters. But most did not.

Is maroons are European moors Sephardi Jews n Arawak mix with Irish Scottish n Ghanaian , we were never slaves and we were partners with the British as queen Isobel was both are enemy , we were the people who had trading ports in Brazil Columbia b Peru after been kick out of Spain n Portugal , the British offered us Jamaica as a deal to join n fight the common enemy the Spanish 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🇯🇲
Ok so they are traitors not heroes, capturing run away Slave was the ultimate betrayal.
Cudjoe is a shameful traitor
No they weren't
Elite Jamaica is the Maroons and the Arawaks Indians are they the same
As I said in the video the maroons are basically runaway 'slaves'. However the Taínos and Arawaks are Amerindians because they are part of the broader group of Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The term "Amerindian" generally refers to the native peoples of North, Central, and South America, including the Caribbean.
The Taínos were a subgroup of the Arawaks, who were part of the larger Amerindian group.
@EliteJamaica Very knowledgeable about present and our past thanks 🇯🇲

Bro, I must correct you one a few points.
The Maroons were Muslim
moors from Spain that came with Catholics, / other converted Sephardic Jews and Moors.
It’s a long complicated story but get this book who were fleeing the Roman Catholic Persecution after the war. This is why most Maroons had European names and Nanny is indigenous Native to Jamaica and not West African including many others.

This is true 👍 👏

1/2 truths, misconceptions and deceptions are pervasive in this presentation. I normally watch your presentations, in fact I am subscribed but you seem to have an agenda which does not serve our true history. I am disappointed.
Thanks for sharing your opinions. Bless

Please contact me
@@EliteJamaica uhm, it's ok.
Respectfully, in this video the information was scattered, to me anyway, sorry.
Consistenly, questionable narratives are put forward, while our people's true History 2 Now remains hidden. Again just my opinion..we can agree to disagree🙂
@calligraphy4851 ok, thanks for your feedback
@@EliteJamaica you're welcome.
Respect🙂
The separation of the Maroon history from that of the Moors, while appropriate for the discussion here, pronouncing the conclusion that they are Totally Separate Chronicles is misinformed. The entire history of enslavement on the continent is saturated with Moorish engagement into the eras relevant to your discussion. The role of islam in slavery as both Slaver and the driving force Against slavery is epitomised by Dutty Bookman. So while I do not disagree with their separation within the conversation, your conclusion on the matter is problematic.
I understand and that's why there will be an update, in historical research sometimes this happens, plus I learn from you the subscribers also. Thanks for your feedback
