    Crazy because the maroons are where we inherited speed from because they had to be running all the time from the English soldiers dated over the years to naturally adapt that sparked the rumor of an extra tendon

    They did know where the maroons was but they had extremely difficult navigating the hilly territory in many cases when they tried to go after the maroons they were ambushed

    Respect bro.. appreciate the love n curiosity you have for the culture. There are myths that nanny had special supernatural abilities, like witchcraft. To this day some maroons in Jamaica are said to have special abilities.

      It's make me feel sad , proud and angry at the sametime........they teach us this in school...imagine as a kids knowing that people use to treat our ancestors unlike an human but property ....not even viewed as a person but an undeveloped animal.....but they couldn't kill our spirit and never will

    Also, persecuted Jews (Spain) and the remnants of the Taino Indians fled with the slaves to the mountains.

    The British did go up to destroy them, but, the terrain and the Maroon style of warfare was impossible to defeat. Most of the maroons were prisoners of war from Africa.

      Where is the evidence that the enslaved Africans were prisoners of war from the continent?
