The Slaves That Got Away: History of the Maroons

What happened to the African slaves in the Americas that managed to escape their masters? Today we will be discussing the history of a group collectively referred to as Maroons in the Americas, who are the descendants of slaves that escaped to the wilderness of many countries throughout the Americas and have very interesting stories to tell.

Let me know your thoughts on these Maroon groups such as the Palenquero, Quilombola, Saramaccan, Ndyuka and others. Sorry about the lack of progress recently fellas. I just got a new dog. Thanks for watching!
