@CharlesJohnson-gl4px Gullah in NC are found in the very far southeastern counties on the coast. However after the massacre in Wilmington in 1898, many Gullah folks moved to Durham which is in the piedmont area
Florida was then known as Spanish Florida people mixed in freely and had children which was not illegal since it's a huge part of our culture whether you have Spanish or Latino roots (the same as Louisiana when it was colonized by the French ) and blacks who were Catholic were free and owned acres and acres of land before British and American rule
They are NOT from Africa. They are an Aboriginal Indigenous American Indian tribe. America is OLDER than Africa.! Learn your history. Slavery was taught is REVERSE.
miss this true. Why would they speak to those who didn’t know the language. Gullah isn’t a dialect. Or maybe they don’t speak the language, but is of Gullah decent.
I agree that Charleston should have been mentioned but you don't have to sound Geechee to be Gullah. That influence was lost in certain parts of the corridor and also with the dying elders. But if you eat fish and grits, shrimp and grits, red rice, field peas and okra and rice with almost every meal, you may just be Gullah. Oh. And let's not forget low country boils. We started that too
False history, Maroons 🇯🇲 wasn't Africans... those Maroons are a part of the Indigenous Americans Awarak tribe known as Tainos proving our Indigenous American heritage we continue to deny....look up Indigenous Jamaicans watch it says Maroons...u can't be Indigenous to one place but moved from another place Indigenous means originally inhabitants meaning God himself placed us here
Stop putting false history on here bruh. You're regurgitating information you know nothing about. The descendents of the Maroons are live and well. Come to Moore's town Jamaica the elders still speak Kromanti rooted from West Africa Cromanti village.
@Burlie Towner might wanna look that up again Gullah ppl are a mixture of west African, indigenous Americans and west indies Perferbly Jamaicans aka Maroons and WE speak creole i think i know who i am my family are Gullah ppl from S.C hilton head island of s.c big dawg...not everything or every dark person is pure African or originated from africa hence the term INDIGENOUS.....Trail Of Tears and the Seminole war was the Gullah Geechee ppl story
@@the6klub and im from Haiti we are part of the same tribe Dutty Boukman was a maroon who tribe was Taino who was part of the Awarak nation they dont teach trust i know our history fam only difference is a boat stop
Cowboy Fan yes it did. In lysine cases it was safer to move south to Florida and a sizable amount of African Americans had went down to Mexico cuz the Mexicans wouldn’t send us back to our overseers like the whites in the north did.
Martin Smith That was not the Underground Railroad. I’m very aware of the original peoples relationship with Mexico, and slaves escaping to go to Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, and to the western frontier. But none of those relocations or alliances was called the Underground Railroad. It’s just too much slang talk that confuses the information. The Underground Railroad was a network of safe houses that were organized and ran by a specific group of people, that included white peoples. That didn’t exist going to the south, not that we can prove or have evidence of.

@@Brookintellect I think he’s referring to the fact that many slaves, since Florida was closer than Canada, would obviously try and make it to freedom by coming to Florida vs the trek to Canada. Georgia used to be Indian territory and was actually made a state for this very reason (to block slaves route to Florida/make it harder). I’m 6th generation Floridian on both sides so I’m very aware.

You put capital letters for the Latino's, Spaniards, and the British but lower case for Blacks. Why the disrespect?

The Underground Railroad never went South.. WTF!?
Cowboy Fan yes it did. In lysine cases it was safer to move south to Florida and a sizable amount of African Americans had went down to Mexico cuz the Mexicans wouldn’t send us back to our overseers like the whites in the north did.
Bruh, you gotta get up on your real actual black history in these lands. It went south BEFORE mother Harriet Tubman
