See "Maroons Within Present Limits of the United States" Herbert Aptheker 1939. Its a seminal work on the topic and gives more details about specific cases in VA, NC, SC, AL. A great book that overlaps with this is "The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia 1772 - 1832" Alan Taylor 2013. Every act of repression and stricture is an indicator that people were fighting. I was hoping for more details but I guess this was meant as an introduction. Thanks for posting it.

Great to see Brazil mentioned here. Quilombo dos Palmares was the biggest quilombo in Latin America, I believe. There were around 20 thousand people living in it, Zumbi became their leader at some point and never stopped fighting. Died just because of a traitor who pointed out who he was to the enemies. Nobody but who lived in the quilombo actually knew who Zumbi was. But in terms of rebellion, the biggest one was the "Revolta dos Malês"... There were many many many more. Africans and their descendants kept fighting back, always. It is sad that to hear otherwise...

The maroons of Jamaica, British & French Guyana and Suriname are descendants of the Akan people of Ghana. They were also referred to coromantee or kromantine which come from the name of a Ghanaian slave fort in the Fante town.

The Akan people are made of Asante, Akwapim, Fante, Akyem, Kwahu, Boule, Sefwi, Assin, Wassa, Baoule and etc. The Ashanti people were in a constant battle with the Fante, especially under Osei Tutu Kwame Asibe Bansu (1799-1824). The Fante formed an alliance with the British which a lot of ASHANTI war captives were sold into slavery.

Maroons are a very strong and well established part of Jamaican history. Specific Maroons are actually honoured as national heroes here and it's a source of pride to trace your ancestry back to them. There's a whole area of Jamaica that's dedicated to their predecessors, (achempong, maroon town). The Maroons fought the British and won. The British had to sign a peace treaty with them. Africans brought to Jamaica, rather than Africans that had escaped from the US to Jamaica.

Proud maroon descendant here!!!!

Thank You!!!!!

Damn right our Ancestors were definitely about that life, having a knowledge of self and kind. No bowing down to the wicked enemy who need no introduction just that fighting warrior spirit. Great information!!

Basically, the "Gullah Wars". Check it out.

I recommend people look up the Gullah Geechee maroons/Black Seminoles from the Gullah wars/Seminole wars. We fought against the United States Army with the Seminole Indian tribe in untamed Florida wilderness and DEFEATED them!

I’m a Geechee born in Savannah ga where Geechee come from. I wanna share a lil history about is. Our family last name is “Moorhead”We are connected to all maroons but most Gullah come from South Carolina. Geechee Gullah are bit different from South Carolina Gullah. Geechee are a mixed minority group of Gullah who mixed with natives from the “ogeechee river” in Savannah Georgia. We fought back in the Gullah wars and lived as free people in the Swaps for decades before Lincoln. Our family specialized in chemical warfare. We still have the recipes in the family. If the totality of these real stories was ever told to the wider audience, black people would be so proud of how our ancestors stayed liberated and fearless up against the white militias for .

I do want to know what types of chemical warfare strategies our ancestors used. Poisons? Bombs? Hallucinogenics?

@@omaroon2679 poison and hallucinogenic. For instance, we will develop a immunity to poison ivy, somac ect and use the dried plants as a spike screen when militia entered the swamps. Europeans didn’t know that poison ivy isn’t really poisonous at all. The plant is actually pretty nutritional, but It has a oil that tells your immune system to flare up due to a false attack that never comes. Hence The white blood cells actually turn on the body so when u breath in a smoke screen of it without it immunity it causes breathing difficulties right away and then f u breath to much u begin to see things before u die from it. We scared them using tactics like this. The Geechee would camouflage and look like trees so it really appeared as if nature was casting some kind of spell on the militia. These tactics really work well against them for decades. That’s just a small example. We would mix certain venoms and plants poisons in the water supplies, animals ect to scare the white militia and settlers.

I'm sorry they did not speak about the Jamaican maroons who are still present today. They live in protected territories in the mountain interior of the island. The British had to yield to the maroons and sign a peace treaty with Cudjoe. Jamaica has female maroon leader Nanny of the Maroons as a National Heroine who led many battles which led to maroon freedom.
